Hive Grove is a vibrant boutique nestled in the heritage heart of Millthorpe Village, located 15 minutes from Orange offering fashion, accessories, gifts, homewares custom-designed mats, locally grown flowers and products . It's all about colour, creativity and style. Back in 2019 founder Gwenda began making custom mats from her kitchen table in Orange, NSW. What started as a creative outlet quickly blossomed into a full-fledged business. Inspired by her love of bees, Gwenda launched Busy Bee Creative Hive, an online shop connecting clients with hand-painted, artisanal mat designs. With growing support locally, nationally, and internationally, Gwenda's kitchen startup expanded beyond the walls of her home. This success led to the opening of Hive Grove in Millthorpe, a bricks-and-mortar store that now showcases her mats alongside a carefully curated selection of fashion, homewares, and gifts. Hive Grove is an homage to Gwenda's creative journey and the history of Millthorpe, which was formerly known as Spring Grove. The name 'Hive' celebrates the legacy of Busy Bee Creative Hive, while 'Grove' honors the village's rich past. Today, HIVE GROVE continues to thrive as a beloved boutique, blending old-world charm with new creative ventures, and offering a welcoming experience to locals and visitors alike.

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations
The Lucknow goldfield was discovered in 1851, soon after Australia’s first payable gold was found at Ophir, near Orange. The Wentworth Main Mine was central to later mining booms in the 1890s and 1930s. The entire mining area was situated on land initially owned by William Charles Wentworth; the gold field was known as the Wentworth Field until the name Lucknow was adopted in 1863. It is said the name ‘Lucknow’ derived from good prosperity the town offered i.e. luck now. The Wentworth Main Mine tells the story of gold mining in this region, from its early stages in the 1850s, through three stages, until its closure in the 1950s. It has been estimated that these fields yielded around 14,000 kilograms of gold in all. The self-guided walk around the site helps re-capture the gold rush era complete with a blacksmith's shop, a stamper battery, a boiler, a mine manager's cottage and the two poppet heads that still loom in the sky. One hundred and sixty years on, the landscape around Lucknow is still dominated by its gold mining heritage. Poppet heads, mine buildings, mullock heaps and bluestone dam walls are still visible in and around the village.
