Built with deep collaboration from the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners, disability advocates, schools, and the local community, the garden features native flora you can see, smell, hear, touch, and even taste — like edible bush foods. Judges praised not just the design, but the inclusive, culturally informed teamwork behind it. With a national award in the sights and major upgrades planned for the You Yangs area by mid-August, this garden is setting a new standard for accessible, community-driven green spaces.
