Joe’s Connected Garden – 6 Argent Street, Elizabeth Grove. This is the 13th consecutive year that Joe’s Connected Garden has welcomed Open Garden visitors and demonstrated the many benefits and community spirit that comes from opening neighbouring gates and sharing resources, knowledge and gardens.
The garden is in fact five gardens from a group of fifteen nearby properties where like-minded residents have banded together to share friendship and expertise as well as their land. By working together and thoughtfully managing the microclimate and enriching the soil, they have been able to grow around 750 different productive plants including a vast range of fruit trees, vegetables, herbs, berries, nuts, medicinal plants, edible weeds and fruiting cacti.
Entry: $10 adults, under 18 free and some concessions are available.
Size: Five gardens make up nearly an acre
