Duntroon resident Jan Keeling established the fresh fruit, vegetable, herb and plant shed in January 2020.
Mrs Keeling, nominated as a rural champion this year, said other community sheds had inspired her and she had wanted to reduce food waste and help those in need.
"I felt Duntroon needed one and that it could use one because we all had excess produce in our gardens," she said.
Two community gardens, including one at Duntroon School, now supplied the community shed.
Mrs Keeling said the cost of living and time-poorness were reasons to be "passionate about it".
"People don’t have time to garden any more with families having both parents working.
"Fresh fruit and vegetables is really, really important and it’s so expensive in the stores," she said.
Second hand books were also on offer, with donations ploughed back to the garden.
"It’s important to us. Plus it’s a reason for people to stop in the village."
Duntroon School principal Mike Turner said Mrs Keeling and other volunteers had helped impart skills and aided pupils to maintain the community garden at the school.
Last year they grew a pumpkin that weighed 46kg. "Every kid got a piece of pumpkin to take home on the bus and shared with their families, which was really cool and pretty funny," he said.
Mrs Keeling said support in Duntroon had been "wonderful".
"Often people message me and send a photo of what’s been dropped off . . . it’s really nice," she said.
