Kariong Eco Garden was established as a child-friendly space and sustainable living ‘learnscape’ in 2007. This educational eco garden situated next to ‘Hawkesbury Woodland’ bushland has been designed to complement the local environment with native bush tucker plants and native trees situated around the garden’s mosaic snake path. 

Not only do the local community come to work together on garden plots, school children visit the garden to learn about sustainable garden practices such as composting, worm farming, water conservation and energy conservation.

The entry to the garden is a place of reflection: “We acknowledge with respect the Indigenous custodians of this land and we work with their spirits caring for mother earth.”
