Whitehorse City Council provides land on which four Community Gardens operate, including Combarton Street Box Hill, Jolimont Road Forest Hill, Sinnott Street Burwood and Slater Reserve Blackburn North.

The Community Gardens provide residents with an opportunity to cultivate a dedicated garden space whilst being part of a social, supportive community.

The Box Hill Community Gardens are managed directly by the community who have established Box Hill Community Gardens Incorporated. They are open from dawn to dusk. Membership inquiries should be directed to Trish on 0402 113 596.
