Where plants and people grow!
The Edible Garden is an initiative of Options Disability Support. Located in the Mt Penang Parklands at Kariong. The Edible Garden provides skill and creative based programs for people with a disability. We have created a cooperative, social and sustainable environment for people to learn and grow.
