What does it mean to be a FOSGA?
FOSGA stands for Friends of Sustainable Gardening Australia and is SGA’s much loved and valued membership program.

Gain access to the best evidence-based and independent advice on how to garden sustainably
Learn all about enabling their own healthy food production
Be empowered to enhance our environment by promoting biodiversity
FOSGAs receive the best independent and evidence-based advice from SGA with plenty of ongoing ideas and inspiration, including:

As a not-for-profit, volunteer-led organisation SGA can offer our FOSGA membership at just $45 a year – less than 90 cents a week. The key to being able to maintain such a great value membership is a strong membership base! When people like you pass on the gift of a FOSGA Membership it means we can continue to inspire and empower our community.
By purchasing a FOSGA Gift Membership, you will help:
- Constantly improve and add value to the FOSGA program to spread the word about sustainability across Australia
- Continue to add to our online collection of research-based articles

Becoming a FOSGA is about respecting the fundamental importance of nature by encouraging biodiversity, protecting our wildlife and enhancing our communities through our gardens and open spaces.
SGA’s activities help you and others be kinder to our environment and gain important knowledge to increase our resilience by growing local healthy food, building community and protecting our environment.
