Sharing a backyard space for productive gardening

I came across the sharing backyards website today on Susan's blog http://aslongasyouhaveagarden.blogspot.com.au/ (thanks Susan!).

After the article on the patch was in The Canberra Times, and again when we had our home open for the Sustainable Homes Open Day, we had people asking about how they can set up their own shared garden space. Although there are several community gardens around Canberra, an 'at home' alternative would suit some people better.

The Sharing Backyards organisation is not yet established in Australia, but is in America, Canada and New Zealand. Perhaps this is the answer to many questions, empty backyards and idle green thumbs?
