Whistle Stop Heritage and Community Garden was established in 2008 and at the time was a weedy abandoned area.
Today the garden is an attractive and thriving community resource, providing for locals and tourists alike.
Whistle Stop Garden has diversified to make a beautiful space more resilient and self-sufficient for a long time to come.
Whistle Stop Garden comprises our heritage (ornamentals), productive (veggies and fruits) and native gardens.
The heritage garden has been planted to remember the history of the garden on this site,
that of the original Station Master of the Railway and comprises many beautiful trees, shrubs and perennials.
Our productive garden hosts a veggie patch, culinary and medicinal herb beds and many different fruit trees.
We are using wicking beds and raised garden beds and learning how best to grow in the micro-climate offered in Stanthorpe.
You are invited to learn, grow and play through the magical gifts of gardening, in our safe and welcoming space.
Explore our plant nursery.
Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings 8am til 12pm.
Our plants have been lovingly propagated in-house, from plants growing in our gardens and donations from locals on the Granite Belt.
Whistle Stop and our Volunteer Community acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we create, grow, meet, learn and trade. The Githabul and Kambuwal peoples.
We respect their Elders past, present and emerging, recognising a continuous connection to Land, Sea, Sky, Culture, Language and Country for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples throughout Australia.
