The residents of Gracewood Retirement Village in Kellyville recently celebrated its fifth birthday inviting Better Homes and Gardens’ gardening guru, Jason Hodges to join in cutting the cake.

Jason revisited the award-winning veggie garden he designed and planted and shared gardening tips including how to create hanging vegetable and herb baskets and solve pest problems.

The third and final stage of The Gracewood Village is due to be completed in the coming months with the release of 88 luxury independent living apartments.

New outdoor amenities will be revealed later this year according to Village Manager Penny Edwards.

The Gracewood Community includes retirement living, home care, a social club and residential aged care all in one location.
