Garden Demolition Rescue

A sample of GDR rescued plants thriving in an established garden - adding to urban biodiversity 🙏🏼💚♻️

Some of the stunning jonquils rescued from a West Lakes garden yesterday! Thanks to all the volunteers involved and for the elderly owner’s son for reaching out to Garden Demolition Rescue - saving some of his mother’s legacy 🙏🏼💚♻️

The recommended urban tree canopy target for cities globally is 30% coverage to achieve necessary urban cooling and climate resilience. Metropolitan Adelaide averages 17% tree canopy cover, which is much lower than Sydney and Melbourne, despite having significantly lower population density 😩

Fruit Share Adelaide is an incredible organisation 🙏🏼💚♻️

Good food does not have to go to waste 🧺🪣📦

Fruit Share Adelaide rescues surplus fruit and vegetables from backyards and farms, transforming backyard abundance into community nourishment by sharing fresh produce with people who need it most through a network of over 130 food relief partners.

We are 100% volunteer run and keep our costs as low as possible. But there are real costs to keeping things moving, and your donation helps cover them directly:

⛽️🚙 Fuel reimbursements for Harvest Leaders so they are never out of pocket.

⚖️✂️ Harvest equipment like platform scales and secateurs to equip new Harvest Leaders.

🖥️⌨️ Software tools, keeping our coordination and communications running smoothly.

🚚🛻 Van or ute hire to efficiently move larger loads of produce.

📄📰 Print materials to grow our reach across Adelaide.

Help us rescue good food and get it to people who need it by donating to Fruit Share Adelaide.

This financial year, we aim to raise $20,000 to keep harvests running and allow us to continue growing.

Donations of $2 or more are tax-deductible, and your receipt arrives by email straight away.

Donating before 30 June means it counts toward this financial year.

Every dollar keeps our volunteers on the ground and the harvests running ✋🍏🤚

Had a fabulous garden rescue today in Magill with a great volunteer team. We saved plants and garden items for our own gardens, Lifeline op-shops, Unley Gardener's Plant Rescue and local Buy Nothing communities. It is so good when home-owners contact us to rescue much-loved gardens before settlement and demolition 🙏🏼💚♻️
