Knox community gardens consists of 120 individual plots on a Council reserve in Scoresby Road (Melways ref map 64 D-11).
Most of the plots measure about 3m x 10m. Some smaller plots have been developed recently (about half the size
of the large plots) to cover a broader range of needs.
The gardens began in 1984 as an initiative of the City of Knox to allow residents with often small back yards a little
more room to garden. The Gardens have since flourished, with many locals having benefited from the fresh vegies they have
grown, the new friends with similar interests they have met and the development of their gardening knowledge through their
observation of the many different techniques around them.
Facilities available include a shed for storage and meetings, a BBQ area, sale of materials including manure, seeds,
compost, stakes and cold drinks.
The site also includes a vineyard and orchard.
Membership costs $45.00 per year, including plot rental, with discounts available to those on fixed incomes.
We'll use this site to inform people about our club, share ideas, and organize events and activities.
