The North Shore Community Garden Society – a partner of the EGP- exists to oversee the use and management of new community gardens on the North Shore.

The aim of the Society is:

• to promote a diversity of approaches to sustainable gardening
• to encourage co-operation, education and community involvement
• to share and develop knowledge and practice of organic gardening
• to promote well-being by providing access to garden space, and to public gathering space.
• to establish and maintain a sustainable method of biodiverse gardening.
