Ashburton Food Forest, Winton Road Ashburton
Community Food Garden
The Ashburton Food Forest is a community food garden located in Winton Road. It is always open, there is no fence! You can be part of this special garden too, whether you visit once a year, once a week or just wander through.
We celebrate nature, explore foods and tend to the gardens! Here is our future food, grown sustainably in, by and for our community.
The garden consists of several 'forest layers' and is home to fruit trees, shrubs, edible vines, edible and medicinal herbs and ground covers. Plants are selected to perform multiple ecological roles – promoting growth of other plants, inhibiting weeds, shelter (for people, birds and little creatures), mulch, pest control, bird food, cross-pollination, attracting beneficial insects and of course providing food.
The Food Forest has been run by volunteers since 2012, with the support of the Craig Family Centre, Boroondara Gardiners Creek Lions Club and the City of Boroondara. Find us near Gardiners Creek bike trail in Winton Road.
The objective of the Food Forrest is to increase community participation in environmental sustainability activities. Everyone is welcome!
Where: 38 Winton Rd, Ashburton (near the Gardiners Creek bike trail)
When: Always open, weekly group gardening and special events as planned
Cost: 2021 Craig Family Centre Membership: $25 Full/$12.50 Concession
Equipment, tea & coffee provided
