History Kids in the Garden at Vaucluse House
Get hands-on in the garden and learn about how gardens were used in the past!
The story begins with the first residents of the land, the Gadigal and Birrabirragal people – discover how they lived and investigate the native plants they used, before and after the Wentworth family came to live here. Then dress up and imagine what life was almost 200 years ago when the Wentworth family bought the Vaucluse House estate. Explore the kitchen garden, plant a seed and help the cook prepare a special birthday dinner for one of the Wentworth children.
After all that hard work, families are invited to enjoy some delicious traditional refreshments under the Moreton Bay fig tree.
