Established in 2014, the Paradise Cooperative is dedicated to enhancing the lives of local residents through sustainable urban gardening. Over the past decade, our committed team of volunteers has transformed an abandoned piece of land into a vibrant and ecologically diverse community garden. At Paradise Cooperative, we collaborate with partner schools and community members to maintain an exceptional green space that fosters a profound connection with nature for visitors of all ages. Over the last three years, we have significantly expanded our impact. We have developed a robust volunteer program that emphasises community engagement and environmental education. Additionally, we have pioneered workshops designed to promote mental wellbeing through nature connections and have forged valuable partnerships with various local community initiatives. Through our collective efforts, Paradise Cooperative continues to be a beacon of sustainability and community enrichment in our local area.
