The Community Garden at the Mildura Eco Village includes a series of irrigated raised garden beds that are available for hire and a large on-ground community garden bed which is available for use by anyone who loves to garden and volunteer their time.    

The Community Garden comprises:

  • On-ground community garden bed
  • A composting area
  • Public art
  • Sustainable children's play area

Using the Community Garden

Raised garden beds can be hired through the Sunraysia Sustainability Network. There is an annual fee for each bed you’re allocated, which MUST be paid before you start using your bed. The raised garden beds are only for the use of those who hired them.

  • “Single” raised bed (1m x 4m): $50
  • “Intermediate” raised bed (1.5 x 4m): $60
  • “Family” raised bed (2m x 4m): $75 

 Renewals for raised garden beds occur annually in September

Anyone can become a member of the Community Garden by joining the Sunraysia Sustainability Network (SSN). Membership is currently free and covers public liability and volunteer insurance.

There are lots of ways to share your skills and time at the Community Garden! Members can volunteer on the shared garden bed by helping with tasks like weeding, planting and general maintenance. As a bonus, you may be able to harvest and take home some of the seasonal produce like our delicious strawberries.

We also run workshops and hands-on learning experiences that are open to everyone in the community. It’s a great way to learn new skills, meet people and enjoy gardening together.
