Community Food Garden Project

<h2 class="sectHeading">About</h2> Many of our food garden projects employ <a href="https://www.capetown.gov.za/Work%20and%20business/Jobs-and-skills-development/Work-for-the-City-of-Cape-Town/Find-an-opportunity-with-EPWP">Expanded Public Works Programme</a> (EPWP) workers from the local community to prepare the area and plant crops. The City then supplies workers with garden tools, protective clothing, seeds/seedlings, compost, food gardening training, and governance training. Read our <a href="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/documentcentre/Documents/Bylaws%20and%20policies/Policy_Food_Gardens.pdf" target="_blank">Food Gardens Policy</a> for more information on the City's community food gardens. <h2 class="sectHeading">Contact us</h2> Please contact our main representative or the helpdesk below to find out more about the Community Food Garden Project.<h4>Lungelo Nokwaza, Social Development Manager, Community, Arts and Culture Development </h4> Telephone: <a>021 400 4192</a> Email: <a href="mailto:Lungelo.nokwaza@capetown.gov.za"> Lungelo.nokwaza@capetown.gov.za</a> <h4>EPWP Helpdesk</h4> Telephone: <a>021 400 9406</a> Email: <a href="mailto:epwp.help@capetown.gov.za"> epwp.help@capetown.gov.za</a>
