Grove Beginnings and Philosophy
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.
