What is Harvest Collective
Over 100 North Sydney residents have successfully participated in Harvest Collective since 2020. Harvest Collective is a program that assists North Sydney residents to set up their own food garden and join the sustainable food movement.
The program is suitable for those who either live, work or study in the North Sydney Local Government Area (LGA). The food garden could be at your home, apartment block, neighbourhood centre, church group, school or any other group you are involved in.
