– INTRODUCING –
The Grounds of Alexandria is a place where people come to thrive. Located in a former industrial precinct from the 1920s, The Grounds has been artfully transformed into three separate but distinct spaces: The Garden, The Roastery and The Potting Shed. Each space has been beautifully crafted with a blend of contemporary meets rustic design elements. Inspired by a holistic seed-to-plate philosophy The Grounds is a sensory feast that provides an abundance of wholesome experiences all within an inner city oasis.
