Here's just a small sampling of some of the projects Sun and Soil have been involved in:

Jane Street Community Garden, West End

The Jane Street Community Garden has been established for over 10 years and grows nearly 200 different varieties of edible plants, including salad greens, vegetables, herbs, fruit and butterfly and insect attracting plants. Coordinated by Melissa since 2014, the Jane Street Community Garden is a working model of a cooperative, community based urban organic garden that aims to:

Enrich people's lives by providing them with a practical way to develop a stronger connection to the food we eat and the environment we live in.
Accommodate increasing community interest in organic gardening and sustainability practices by offering varied, practical opportunities to volunteer and learn about organic gardening.
Educate the general public, school children and community groups in organic, sustainable, permaculture and water-wise practices, as well as general gardening topics such as composting, plant health and seed saving.
Increase recreation activities which contribute towards the improved health and well-being of the community and increase opportunities for training and team building.

Common Ground Queensland provides supportive housing solutions to families who are at risk of, or experiencing homelessness, or who suffer from a disability, including mental health and addiction. Located on top of a 13th story building the Common Ground Roof Top Gardens provide tenants access to freshly harvested organic fruit, vegetables and herbs. Working bees are facilitated weekly by Melissa which are focused on food growing education and facilitating social pathways and building community. The garden grows a range of crops including citrus fruit tress, grape and passionfruit vines, herbal medicine and seasonal crops.

Hope on Boundary cafe edible garden

These thriving edible gardens located on Boundary Street West End were installed in 2017 with the intention of improving the sustainability of the cafe by using produce grown on site and recycling food scrapes through worm farms and composting systems; improving the aesthetics of the outdoor seating area of the cafe and bringing the community together to learn to grow food.
