Bedford Park Community Garden is a place of learning, living, growth and community. A green place in the heart of the Eastern suburbs designed to generate, foster and promote all things sustainable. With a quarter of an acre of green fertile land right behind the main building of the Central Ringwood Community Centre and nestled in some gorgeous remnant bush we have something for everyone.
