History
Originally the farm was a tree nursery owned by Francis Moss in 1880 who propagated European oaks and elms, many of which are still featured in the garden and in historic Mossvale Park.
A number of the trees are tagged as 'unique' to the area and are recognised as significant trees with in the Victorian heritage landscape including: Jersey Elms, 4 California Red Woods, a magnificent Atlantic Cedar, and a variety of oak trees and other mature European exotic trees including the Weeping Elms, a Morton Bay Fig, and, an unusual addition, the old warrior iron bark gum tree.
The park was donated to the local Gippsland council in 1943 and is now used for music concerts, picnics and family gatherings.
