Kitchen Garden

The kitchen garden and developing food forest at Canberra’s Sustainable House links the Kitchen with the Garden. This garden is grown with only the water that falls on the property. No connection to the Canberra Water and Sewerage Network on this property!!!

Old favourites, heirlooms and traditional fruit and vegetable varieties are grown to supply most of the owners fresh produce needs. A range of approaches including organic, biodynamic and permaculture principles are used throughout the garden.

It makes sense to grow your own vegetables and fruit and support local growers – food production is Australia has a carbon emission close to that of Coal Fired Power Stations!!!! We also advocate supporting local producer – why not visit Canberra’s farmers market for a great culinary experience and follow it with a tour of Canberra’s leading Sustainable House.

Diverse, Healthy, Inspiring

The Canberra’s Sustainable House garden is inhabited by a large number of native animals, including some of Australia’s more dynamic wildlife.  Visit our blog and see what’s going on.

Areas of native grassland and shrub land provide essential shelter and food for our native fauna.

Discover how you can produce food in your backyard. Book on a tour of Canberra’s Sustainable House and experience for yourself the link between House and Garden.
