Veg Out Community Garden

Wad recommended to visit here. I am glad we sought it out. Such a lovely peaceful place. The combination of artwork and vegetables seems to go together very well. Worth taking a few moments to locate and don’t forget your camera too.

What a great place to stroll around! Next to Luna Park (watch the roller coaster), tucked behind the shops, on the street to the beach, is a neat little garden. At first, it isn’t necesarilly apparent if anyone can enter, but a search for the sign confirms it’s possible.
So, I spent about 15 minutes walking around and really appreciated the design, the beauty of the flowers/​fruits/​veggies, and the peacefulness of just walking around an urban garden. Just watch your step as plants to tend to overflow on to the narrow walkways.
There are even some chickens and other small animals here too, which surprised me. It tends to be quiet here… my guess is that not many people realize it’s here or open for anyone. So take some time, find the entrance, bring a date, and enjoy a short visit to the garden!

This place is my idea of urban heaven.

If you live in an apartment but need to exercise your green thumb, this is a lovely spot to hang out. The Vege Out community garden is run by volunteers, and you can apply for one of the 140 available plots in which you can plant veggies and flowers.
It’s a quiet retreat in the back streets of St Kilda and it a great place to walk around or sit for a while, even if you don’t have a plot. Community working bees are a great way to help out and become involved in what goes on here.
