The Anakie Community Garden is located at the Parks Victoria Anakie Community Depot on Geelong-Ballan Rd, Anakie.

The community garden will be used as a community space where people will have the opportunity to grow fresh food and propagate plants for their own garden; a place to share stories and make new friends.

The garden will provide opportunities to integrate artistic elements into the space, showcase a number of different garden bed systems for growing vegetables and incorporating fruit-bearing trees and shrubs.
