From early beginnings of a few small garden beds planted by Wendy Mitchell, our kitchen garden is one of the oldest in Victoria and has grown to become of the largest operations in Australia. Now at three acres, and managed by our Produce Manager Julie Bennett, the installation of 100m2 of polytunnels allows delicate crops to flourish over the cooler months and brings another dynamic to year-round production.
