title: 'Veg Out community gardens, Melbourne'
description: "While walking around St Kilda, a bayside suburb of the vibrant, lively city of Melbourne, Australia, you may happened upon the Veg Out community gardens. Veg Out is that it's a place where friends, families and community groups can share seedlings, gardening tips and life stories. This modest community garden encourages people to work together, on little projects and giant ones. It also reminds us that growing our own food makes us more confident, self-sufficient, and wonderful human beings. An article in a major Melbourne newspaper, An oasis of friendship grows with the vegies is about Lenny Pastro (image) who has held a plot at Veg Out for the last nine years."
