Mill Park Garden Club

The Mill Park Garden Club is a welcoming group for seniors who enjoy gardening, socialising, and community involvement. Members have been maintaining the cottage garden, orchard, and car park at Hawkstowe Picnic Area since the voluntary project began with Parks Victoria in 1994. 

The club meets from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM on the third Friday of each month. Activities include: 

• Monthly meetings with guest speakers
• Mini show table, selling table, and library
• Monthly trips to visit gardens and nurseries
• Special fundraising days
• Volunteer days maintaining the cottage garden and orchard
• Working bees and monthly sausage sizzles

The club provides a friendly and social environment where seniors can connect with others, share their love of gardening, and participate in hands-on activities.
