This garden designed by the students will be built beside the Kilmore Creek Walking Track as the third stage of a Heritage Art Walk, where a series of panels will be installed telling the significant history of Kilmore as the oldest, settled and gazetted inland township in Victoria from the Taungurung people, and colonial settlement in Kilmore. This third stage garden illustrates the thoughts of the students about Kilmore's future with native plantings and a coloured mosaic in tiles and stone. The walk is open to residents and visitors as a place of quiet reflection on Kilmore, past and future.

This is a community project involving businesses, groups, artists, sculptors and students. The student garden will be a visual piece of artistic and botanical splendour as the final section at the end of the walk to educate the community, local and visiting, on our significant and interesting history. The garden will be a place of peace and hope and where visitors can sit and enjoy the vision of Kilmore achieved for us by our students with design and colour .

I walk along this creek every day since I moved here last year and love the walk. The one thing I would like to see happen is for the creek to have a bit of a clean up as it has a lot of junk floating along it which is not a good look. The art walk is a great idea and will generate interest of the creek and surrounds

I think this idea will be the beginning of a great deal more development of our Kilmore creek area. It will show residents and visitors the story of Kilmore. I believe that our creek area is very much under utilised and can be enhanced and developed to become a great tourist attraction as well as a great place for local residents.

will encourage locals and visitors to stay and explore beautiful Kilmore. A brilliant idea to involve our young people too.

The Kilmore creek is a wonderful asset for the Community and should be utilised more. This walk encompasses many facets of the Kilmore Community and should be promoted in a positive way. The Committee have worked long and hard to get this off the ground and they should receive the funding they require
