The Family Garden experiments with colour, movement and form and it is set in a paddock on a hill, on a small farm exposed to the coastal elements.
The owners call it a garden for their family, to have fun with plants to experiment and indulge their interests. It isn’t a designed garden or a garden designed to impress. It’s messy and wild and combines some unusual plants. It is a bee garden, a habitat garden, a garden for food production, and chooks and many immature trees. It's a pure delight to enjoy.
There will be a Global Gardens of Peace Stand and Nobbies View Nursery and Merricks Nursery will also be selling plants on both days. Jac Semmler will be selling her book: Superbloom: a Field Guide to Flowers for Every Gardener on the Sunday.
Some of the proceeds will be donated to The Global Gardens of Peace.
Please note: there is parking onsite and there be will a volunteer directing traffic. Also, most of the paths are a bit rough for wheelchair access, but there are a few areas that are manageable.

The Family Garden is located on the lands of the Bunurong people. Open Gardens Victoria wish to acknowledge the Traditional custodians and we pay respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
