Growing healthy soil, people and communities

Soil for Life is a public benefit organisation that teaches people how to grow their own food, improve their health and well-being, and nurture and protect the environment.

Changing the world, one garden and one person at a time

We believe EVERYONE has the potential to grow nutritious food with whatever resources they have.

Since 2002, we have taught over 7,600 people in resource poor communities how to develop and sustain productive home and community food gardens.

We have also shared valuable information about health and nutrition and provided them with knowledge and tools to live healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives.

In addition to saving money and eating from my own garden, I share with neighbours and extended family.

I have grown so much as a person having learned never to give up, to finish what I’ve started, and that you reap what you sow in all areas of your life.

I have truly received an enormous amount of knowledge and it’s had a huge impact on my family’s life-style! I’ve learnt not to waste but to recycle and respect “Mother Nature.
