Pentridge Community Garden is a new garden within the historic Pentridge Prison, located at 1 Stockade Avenue, Coburg, Melbourne.
Pentridge Community Garden is a large community garden located within the historic Pentridge Prison precinct in Coburg on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. We have communal vegetable beds, fruit trees, individual plots, ornamental beds and spaces to relax with a cuppa. Our garden is located on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, and we pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.

Bees need bed rot time too...
Today our resident keeper Megan, along with Beth and Steph, gave our lovely bees a check over before tucking them in for the long Melbourne winter.

Pentridge Community Garden honours and celebrates out going (and long serving) president Andrew and committee member Kerry. We thank them both for all their hard work, love and dedication to the garden over the years. Although they are stepping down from offical duties, they are not stepping away... and will continue to garden alongside the PCG community, which we are all very happy about ☺️
