Kentridge Gardens has been developed over 25 years. It started as mostly bare horse paddocks on 5 acres and is now a large garden with 44 raised vegetable beds, including some wicking beds. There is an orchard with more than 90 fruit trees. Other plants include flowering natives and trees, lots of camellias and more than 200 roses and 500 metres of hedging. There are also areas of bush tucker plants. Drip irrigation and venturi fertilisation systems are in use throughout the garden.
There is a 15m chicken run for the ISA brown chickens with grapevines planted to provide shade, 14 compost bins, 3 leaf mould bins and 7 worm farms. There are aquatic beds and a raised bed made from old bathtubs and recycled wooden pallets.
The garden is open a few times during the year for various garden groups.
Plants and preserves will be for sale.
