I found out today that the restaurants and the public can harvest the food. The beds are looked after by a contractor. As well as adding fresh food to the plates of Ringwood diners, one of the key aims is apparently is to provide a wonderful sensory experience for the people gathering there. I understand it is part of the social and environmentally responsible actions of the shopping centre development and that they would have received a higher Green Star rating for adding urban food gardens into their designs. The person I spoke to today from Eastland Centre Management said it also just made good sense because that are attractive and hardy, and really visually add a lot to the space.
