Why it's worth checking out
Veg Out Community Gardens sit at the corner of Shakespeare Grove and Chaucer Street in St Kilda, Melbourne's iconic bayside suburb, near the beach. A much-loved community garden, it's a genuine local treasure — a lush, characterful patchwork of garden plots, greenery and community spirit, the kind of charming, welcoming green space that's become a beloved part of the St Kilda community.
The appeal is that combination of a lovely, lush community garden and a wonderful sense of place: wandering among the garden plots, the greenery and the creative, community-minded surrounds makes for a charming, peaceful visit, a lovely green pocket near the bustle of St Kilda and the beach. Its community spirit and character give it real charm, and it's clearly become a genuine local favourite.
With a 4.8 rating from 160 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot.
