As a kid, I remember my mum used to get me out into the garden to help and I hated it. She said that I would grow to love it one day and, my God, she was right!
Boronia Kitchen’s garden plays a significant role in enhancing the flavour and quality of the dishes served in the restaurant. We take pride in using the freshest ingredients, and planting our kitchen garden is an essential component of this commitment.
