Our Gardens

We’re proud to support three community gardens across our region:

  • Deloraine Community Garden
  • Mole Creek Community Garden
  • Meander Community Garden

Join Our Combined Gardening Day

Come along to our group gardening sessions every Wednesday at the Deloraine Community Garden, from 10am to 2pm.

Everyone is welcome – no experience needed!

Garden Access

The Mole Creek and Meander gardens are always open, and there are also several garden beds in Deloraine that are freely accessible at any time.

New Outdoor Kitchen at Deloraine Garden.

We’re excited to share that our new outdoor kitchen facility at the Deloraine Community Garden is now up and running – and it’s already being enthusiastically embraced by our volunteers.

This fantastic addition was made possible thanks to a grant from FRRR and a collaborative construction effort with Deloraine High School. A big thank you to everyone involved.

It’s another step toward making our garden a vibrant, welcoming space for growing, cooking, and connecting.

Spring Has Sprung! (Well… Almost!)

It may not quite be spring yet, but it’s just around the corner – and we’re already getting into the spirit. We recently had a terrific collaborative effort to kick off our spring seed propagation, with volunteers coming together to prepare for the season ahead. It’s always inspiring to see so many hands helping to grow what will become a bountiful garden in the coming months.

Thanks to everyone who got involved – we’re off to a great start.

Meander Community Garden
The weather gods have been kind to us providing enough rain, at ideal intervals so that our potato crop has flourished and now ready for harvesting. We now have 5kg and 10kg bags available for sale. 10kg – $15.00, 5kg bags – $8 each

We’ve had some great engagement with students from Deloraine High School, and they are using a corner bed in the garden in collaboration with our volunteers to grow produce.
