This Soldiers Hill garden offers expansive grounds and beautifully maintained spaces, combining inspiration with tranquillity. A private courtyard provides a peaceful retreat, while north-facing gardens showcase seasonal plantings year-round.

Designed by Paddy Milne, the garden harmonises with its heritage home and includes a productive vegetable garden that highlights sustainable living. Visitors can also enjoy coffee, biscuits, and a textile display by owners Maria Cook and Melanie Hill, with proceeds supporting the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.

Craigie is located on the lands of the Wadawurrung People. Open Gardens Victoria acknowledges the Traditional Custodians and pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
