<div class="ExternalClass691C4063A751422E86075060E0BC95F0"><p>The <a href="https://www.capetown.gov.za/Departments/Recreation%20and%20Parks%20Department">Recreation and Parks Department</a> runs an Urban Gardening Project that aims to facilitate and manage community involvement and participation in developing quality public open spaces.</p></div>

<h2 class="sectHeading">About </h2><p>Community gardening is an activity which contributes to health and well-being, positive social interaction, community building, environmental education and sustainability, and protection and use of open space. In addition to allowing community members to improve the environment around them, the project provides economic opportunities through skills development and horticulture. </p><h2 class="sectHeading">Donate </h2> <p>The <a href="https://www.capetown.gov.za/Departments/Recreation%20and%20Parks%20Department">Recreation and Parks Department</a> supplies the community gardeners with basic setup requirements such as seeds and compost, as well as on-going advice in terms of soil, seasonal planting and species selection. We require donations for equipment, time, skills and services.</p> <h2 class="sectHeading">Volunteer </h2> <p>By encouraging greater participation in the community, we hope to contribute to environmental education and sustainability as well as increase health and wellbeing, positive social interaction, and community capacity building. Volunteers are invited to get busy in the outdoors where they will be aided by the City Recreation and Parks Department in locating new garden sites where available land exists, and where the community is supportive and can also contribute to the green upliftment of the area.</p><span><div class="notification with-heading dark-copy pink bg-light-grey"><div class="graphic with-border"> <i class="info note"></i> </div><div class="desc"><h4>Please note</h4><p> <b></b>A cooperative agreement is entered into and City Recreation and Parks will assist with design, preparation, basic infrastructure, and training.</p></div></div></span> <h2 class="sectHeading">Contact us</h2> <p> To donate equipment or join the programme as a volunteer, please contact us using the details below.</p><h4>Nondumiso Magija</h4><p> <em> </em><br><em>Email: </em> <br> <a href="mailto:konanani.phadziri@capetown.gov.za"> <em></em></a><em><a href="mailto:nondumiso.magija@capetown.gov.za">nondumiso.magija@capetown.gov.za</a></em></p>
