With the increased focus of our communities on localising food production, strengthening our food supply system and high food prices, Cityfood Growers creates a new standard with ease of access to knowledge on increasing productivity in your food garden, so you can grow healthy food without harming the planet.

Backyard gardeners of any level are provided with a world of food gardening information at www.cityfoodgrowers.com.au and can interact with gardeners from around the globe. Gardening workshops and other urban agriculture services are also provided.

Website membership options are also available for schools to use as part of their agriculture and horticulture courses. "The Cityfood Growers web site provides an exciting new partnership integrating Information Communication Technology (ICT) into a classroom setting" Volker Jahnke, Agricultural Department manager of Ferny Grove State High School.

Web site members from any country have access to extensive food gardering how-to content, an urban agriculture market and plant information on 130 of the most common vegetables, herbs and grains. There are over 30 time saving searches on food plants such as: organic treatment of pests and diseases, companions, rotation considerations, beneficial flowers, growing methods, planting methods, ease of growing, water usage, container growing, moon planting and more. "The Cityfood Growers website is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to grow their own produce'" Mary Trigger, CEO, Sustainable Gardening Australia.

Australian web site members and in May 09, USA and New Zealand members, can also create a local temperature profile for their garden. This is integrated with planetary indications giving them unprecedented planting accuracy. Gardeners can search by month or day for ideal planting, cultivating and harvesting times for their food plants. "I feel motivated to get back into the garden. You are to be commended for a very detailed and informative website which has been customized to our back yard. For the first time I feel we have a good chance of achieving some productive outputs", Bruce Mitchell, Samford.

Free members have access to community features which include the forum, blog and event calendar.

No other gardening resource on the web or in paper integrates all the content used by the Cityfood Growers web site in such an easy way for the gardener. "Our aim is to empower food gardeners with knowledge so they gain the most satisfaction from their time spent in the garden".
