About the Grove grove

Jacqui and Profth founded the Grove in 1991, creating a space for people with an interest in alternative lifestyles. The Grove is a network centre - a community associated with many other like-minded people and groups working towards social change.

The Grove cares for and respects the environment, so future generations can live in health and abundance.

Over the years the Grove has hosted many small alternative lifestyle festivals - called ‘Grove Gatherings’ - where people come for three or four days camping and community.

The property is situated near Wisemans Ferry and is approximately 90km from Sydney and 75km from Gosford. It covers 40 acres of hillside and river flats and is bounded by national parks.

Wisemans Ferry shops are 5km away, and a 15km drive along a dirt road takes you to the picturesque village of St Albans with its historic settlers Arms pub.
