Belville Community Garden Trust was formed in 2014 after residents of the Belville Street area spent years campaigning to prevent the area of derelict land created by the demolition of seven high rise housing blocks from becoming an unwelcome place.
They formed an action group and sourced the funding in order to transform the land into a community garden with the goal of creating an accessible and welcoming space for the community while increasing biodiversity.
Belville Garden Trust is now a thriving and lively place with many local people visiting the area. We, at Belville, coordinate a variety of projects designed to benefit the local community, including biodiversity and environmental projects, community carbon and climate change initiatives, community arts, health, and wellbeing programs, and employment and volunteering opportunities.
