Vision


Barwon Heads Community Arts Garden is a community based Permaculture garden located at Moonah Gates Park, 38 Geelong Road, Barwon Heads. The garden will be used as a community gardening and gathering space, a space for the creation and display of art and as a living example and experiment in living green. It will contain a communal veggie patch as well as individual allotments, an orchard, a covered meeting space with cooking and storage facilities, and we hope to fill it with flowers, colour, sculpture, art and people.
