Paterson Community Gardens @ Hub & Harvest
Paterson Community Gardens @ Hub & Harvest
Our youth members who requested community gardens in Paterson were heard by the Paterson Community Builders team. The Paterson Community Action Plan developed as a result of the Community Opportunity Workshop in April 2025 states:
Our Strategies & Actions - Theme 5. Expanding Community Lifestyle and Infrastructure - Create Community Gardens in one or more locations in Paterson to grow and consume fresh produce, to improve community connection, increase mental wellbeing, and decrease loneliness.
The Paterson Hub & Harvest behind the Post Office (former gallery space - entry off Duke Street) now has the start of one of our 'Community of Gardens' across Paterson. Come and see what we have achieved so far!
Jo at the Paterson Country Cafe has requested a community garden be sited at the back of the cafe below the deck. What a perfect location!
Here is the potential design for the garden by Maplewood Permaculture.
