Aintree Community Garden.

About

The Aintree Community Garden was founded in 2018 behind the Woodlea Sales Office. The land has since been sold and in 2022, the process for the Community Garden rebuild at the Timbertop Community Centre (1 Timbertop Pde, Aintree) commenced.

The new garden will consist of raised garden beds, and fruit trees, and integrate workshops and programs for community, early learning centres, and schools. The focus of the community garden will be around education, workshops and community action to increase food resilience, environmental awareness and sustainable living.

Stay tuned to our socials as we work on the build!

Upcoming Workshops & Events

Come and join in a Fruit Tree Workshop. This workshop will be held at the home of Jono (WLA & Eat Grow Garden Founding Director) and will look at all the Winter jobs for fruit trees — pruning, treating for pests, planting bare rooted trees and feeding.
The workshop will involve pruning some espalier and regular fruit trees and we also have some kiwi and grapes to look at and prune as well. Hopefully we will have some bare rooted trees for sale (stay tuned in the event discussion for notice closer to the day).
Starting at 10am at in Jono’s backyard. Morning tea will be provided.
