Serenity Farm Community Garden in Victoria.
Rooted in Community.
Therapeutic organic gardening at Seven Oaks for participants and volunteers.
Growing community.
Serenity Farm has operated for over thirteen years on the grounds of Seven Oaks. Participants and volunteers work side by side, growing organic produce that gets donated to the community. Over a season, the people you work alongside become familiar. Community grows the same way vegetables do: slowly, with consistent attention.
