We are a newly constructed Community Garden in the heart of Mooroolbark that is all-inclusive. We are working together to make the nearly 1-acre space a vibrant and welcoming connection to everyone in our community.

History of the garden

The land was once a community hub back in the 30s-40s with a community hall and fell into disrepair when a new community hall was constructed in the 70s in another part of the suburb, it became a carpark when the new train station was being built and has now been made into a community garden for use by all the community.
