Maribyrnong Edible Garden
A grass path winding between rows of lush green garden foliage

Our story

A small patch of common ground.

The garden grew out of a few neighbours, a borrowed shovel, and the idea that a place to grow food together is a place worth tending.

What we do

We grow vegetables, herbs, and a handful of stubborn fruit trees at 98 Hortense St, Maribyrnong. Members tend their own individual plots, small or large, while shared beds, fruit trees, and common areas are cared for together at working bees.

How the garden runs

Members tend their own plots making good use of the free seedlings and shared tools. We come together once a month for a working bee to look after the communal plots, the orchard, the citrus grove and the compost. We maintain the garden beds, the tools and equipment. We enjoy morning tea and share news and gardening tips. The elected committee has overall responsibility for the running of the garden.

Where to find us

98 Hortense St, Maribyrnong VIC 3032. Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country.

"Tend what you've got, share what you can, and let the rest go to seed."
