Open Hands Garden – McKenzie Hill

Our garden has become our sanctuary – a place for fun and repose

We began our garden in 2019, working hard with the clay and rock ubiquitous to Castlemaine.

A 20m wisteria walk, inviting lawns and water fountain draw you in; the kitchen garden, the children’s space and the natural bush will make it worth your while to linger.

We are still learning as we grow, but we are delighted to open our gates and share our hectare with the community that helped to inspire us.
