Garden
Gwinganna is home to four abundant organic garden areas and an orchard. They are the largest of any retreat in Australasia and feature two vegetable and two herb gardens. Overall there are around 42 varieties of fruits growing on the property. The Orchard alone features trees that produce lychees, oranges, limes, mango, persimmons, macadamias, papaya and lemons. The gardens also grow vital health ingredients including turmeric, ginger and chilli.
