The property, located in West Hamilton at the north end of Marion Avenue, is nestled in Churchill Park near a ravine that leads to Cootes Paradise, and shares its land with Hamilton s Aviary. Garden plots measure approximately 4 x 5 metres, and are roto-tilled at the beginning of each gardening season. The area is bounded by a manicured hedge and security fence, and contains a fully automatic irrigation system. A limited number of tools, wheelbarrows and watering cans are available for use by the gardeners. Wheelchair accessible washroom facilities are provided on-site.
Gardeners are responsible for weeding and general upkeep of their garden plot.

The Aviary, managed by dedicated volunteers, was a longtime attraction of Dundurn Castle, however, following extensive renovations at the Castle, the decision was made to relocate the Aviary. New indoor facilities and outdoor flights were constructed, and the Aviary moved into the existing building that once housed offices and a classroom. The gardens and the Aviary are separate but highly compatible operations and many gardeners grow produce suitable to the diet of our feathered friends.
