For those of you who saw our veggie garden you know that it is quite a passion of ours. Once we started reading up on gardening pretty quickly we learned that there are seeds, then there are seeds! The best veggies come from the heirloom varieties.
So we decided to look into them and found an online seed place that speacalised in all the best heirlooms available here in Australia. Then we discovered that they had a club and an actual garden where you could visit and buy the seeds in person and speak to the growers.
So one sunny Winter's day we loaded up the kids and drove the hour and a half to get there.
Here's the carpark, yes that is the ocean on the horizon, The Diggers Club is situated in Dromania on the coastline of Victoria.
Here's the entrance...so pretty!
This is the shop from the outside the building are just gorgeous.
Pretty display inside.
Gorgeous gardens to walk around.
These are the ediable gardens, almost all the garden in this section is veggies and fruit trees.
The kids took advantage of an old tyre swing.
Tropical fruit trees...how they grow in Victoria (the cooler part of the mainland) I will never know!
The back of the building, honestly I was in awe this place it is just so picturesque.
We explored all the grounds.
Relaxed at the view point.
I will say it wasn't exactly pram friendly! Luckily I was off pushing duty!
Then we made a few purchases.
Headed off to the beach for lunch.
The kids played at the park by the sea.
You can't have lunch by the beach unless it's Fish and Chips!
Then it was time for one quick play before it was time to go home.
The Diggers Club is a fantastic place to get your seeds and obviously a beautiful place to visit, if you happen to be in Victoria and interested in gardening I truly recommend it. I wasn't paid or compensated in any way for this post it was just such an awesome place to visit.
Thanks for reading,
