The Ian Potter Foundation Children's Garden
What lies around the bend, through the gorge, amid the forest? The landscape is an invitation to climb, jump, crouch, crawl and revel in the natural world, a delight for children and carers alike.
The collection is important as it:
-:- Offers a space for children to learn about flora and fauna, through having exposure to different forms, textures and colours. This is achieved by maintaining scale and having a patchwork of spaces which link throughout the space.
-:- Provides an active kitchen garden to demonstrate growing edibles and the growing cycle from planting to harvest.
-:- Provides for families to gather which inspires intergenerational learning and knowledge sharing.
Open: Wednesday to Sunday (daily during Victorian school and public holidays).
Entry: Free
