6 years agoHuge assortment of vegetables etc. Looks a lot better while all the plants are standing tall. Unfortunately, last time I went, the garden was undergoing maintenance, so not very much to see. Pretty nice overall.

a year agoThe Kitchen Garden was looking good. It would have been helpful to identify the various fruit and vegetables being grown.

7 years agoThis is or when I study Horticulture here, A impressive Vegetable garden created by and worked in by the first year students of Wintec. Years later ( Today ) when I visited the site, it still is just as great as it was back then ( 2000 - 2003 ). FYI = The second + year students work here and there with council staff and their tutors within other gardens including the feature ones.
