There is nothing like the taste of home-made jam, traditional chutneys and garden-fresh herbs.

Made with seasonal organic produce from the Arboretum's very own Kitchen Garden and fruits from the forests, stock up with jams, chutneys, preserves, seedlings and more.

Join us in the warmth of the Visitors Centre to purchase your homemade goodies and seedlings.

Visit the Kitchen Garden for inspiration of what can be grown in your backyard. The garden is maintained, harvested and produce preserved by Arboretum volunteers. Ask our friendly staff at the Visitors Centre desk for directions.

The Arboretum Visitors Centre and Kitchen Garden are wheelchair accessible.

*This will be a cashless event, with card only payments. All proceeds go towards Friends of the Arboretum projects to support the National Arboretum Canberra.
