The Miranda Community Garden (MCG) was started by the Gymea Miranda Uniting Church in early 2010 on a block of land adjacent to and owned by the church. Garden members grow fresh organic produce and plants, share gardening knowledge and ideas, have fun and help each other. Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate. At present we have about 30 enthusiastic members, the great majority from outside the church congregation. We have over 30 garden beds, all with automated irrigation fed mainly from by our rainwater tanks, a worm farm, compost bins, etc. We have also installed waist high garden beds and three wheelchair accessible garden beds with concrete access paths for gardeners in wheelchairs and gardeners who have restricted mobility. All our garden beds are communal and garden care and produce is shared between MCG members and their friends. Gardening takes place every Wednesday and Saturday morning and we hold monthly meetings. Members are required to sign an agreement regarding general conduct, use of the garden, responsibilities and obligations. Insurance cover is provided by the church. The MCG participated in the Sydney Edible Garden Trail in 2022.
