Part of the Victory Community Centre, the community garden is in the back corner of the Victory Primary School campus, near the Victory Village Learning Centre buildings.
There is a waharoa (Maori word for gateway) at the entrance carved by Mark Davis and a team of volunteers. The central garden is a mandala - a large circle with segments for different plantings. There is a shade house, sheltered and warm for seedlings, cooler and ventilated for plants before being planted out.
A small octagonal pergola is for sitting and eating. There are a range of composting systems on display - 3 bin system, worm farm (in a bath), rotating barrel, and various examples of mulching - cardboard, sawdust, and barrels for soaking comfrey, weeds, fish stock and other garden foods for building soil fertility.
