As part of our PDC course we visited the community garden Veg Out in St Kilda. It has quite a lovely history, it began as an abandoned bowling green, the building had been taken over by a group of artists who after a while felt sorry for the weed infested green and began nurturing it and then it sprawled and rambled out into one of the prettiest, creative community gardens I have seen. It was so loved by the community that the council couldn’t kick them out and now have grown to cherish it too. Dinosaurs made of trash metal stalk under the shadow of Luna Park and, there is a garden bed shaped as a ship complete with a mini sail, each plot has a letter box so when there are water restrictions everyone knows when they are allowed to water. It was a very inspiring place, every child at heart couldn’t help but melt.
