Chooks, community, Cob ovens & common ground

















Ceres Park CERES (the Centre for Education and Research in Environmental Strategies, pronounced ‘series’) CERES is located on 4.5 hectares on the banks of the Merri Creek, in East Brunswick.


What was once a wasteland and rubbish tip is now an urban oasis that has evolved into an extraordinary space situated in a native bush setting, It combines community gardens, an organic farm, permaculture gardens, walking trails, a renewable energy park and Ecohouse, as well as cultural villages and spaces, urban agriculture projects, mixed in with quirky spaces and a landscape that is gentle and complimentary. It is a with site groups to join or participate in; such as the chook group, the bike group and baking group and more. You can relax and enjoy the fresh organic fare at the Cafe, get your retail fix from the nursery and do your weekly shopping at the CERES farmers market, a hub of lively local food action.
