Austerity is a relative thing and right now in Tasmania the food shortages that were experienced in WW2 Britain bear little or no comparison to what know today. Nonetheless, there is a VICTORY to be won over relative poverty, social isolation and exclusion, the creeping unaffordability of energy and housingand more still.
Even though Australia/Tasmania has escaped the worst of the ravages of the international GFC the imperatives that seem to be driving community interest in food gardening are still with us – and are likely to be so for some time yet. Community gardening is seeming to win some attention as a kind of economic stimulus interestingly.
The Internet is turning out to be a useful 'garden tool' as all kinds of once obscure information is now readily available at the click of a mouse. Indeed intending community gardeners need only click here to get the 'good oil' on the basic infrastructure required for a community garden and here for a fascinating story in the Hobart Mercury that puts a whole new spin on the subject.
