The Hub Plot (at the rear of the building)

The Hub Plot is a demonstration garden at the rear of The Hub building. Once used as a garden space for the kitchen of the former pub for around 100 years, it is now used to show various types of garden watering systems, fruit and vege growing, worm farming and composting. Regular working bees are held every Monday morning from 9am and workshops and field trips are conducted regularly. Most recently wicking bed boxes have been established by the Hub Foundation outside on the footpath. These boxes are maintained by the Hub Plot volunteers.

Stories from Castlemaine’s Council Club Hotel 1875 – 2010.

Presented by Jan ‘Yarn’ Wositzky, including the Hub’s official opening by former Minister for Science Barry Jones AO.

With the aid of the descendents of former licensees, some former patrons and several innocent bystanders, we explore the history of the hotel, the tragedies and good times, the depressed period which followed de-licensing and the major renovations completed in 2010.
