2025 VIC Community Gardens Gathering

Come and experience a fabulous day at Poowong Hall in Gippsland with your fellow Victorian community gardeners!

Only 1.5hrs from Melbourne city, this is a day to come together, learn, meet like minded souls and celebrate our love of community gardens.

We will have speakers, workshops, lots of fun, special guests for you to meet, and a community lunch. 

We have James McLennan speaking about the fabulous Farm My School project in Geelong, Chelsea McNab speaking about the lessons they have learned at ECOSS in the Yarra Valley about activating your community effectively, a session on how to promote your garden more effectively and a short series of mini workshops in the afternoon.  

Morning tea as well as lunch is included in the ticket. Post event drinks will be held across the road at the Poowong Hotel and if you would like to join us for dinner there in the evening, please email info@communitygarden.org.au as we need to confirm numbers. 

Please bring your own water bottle, keep cup and bag for some goodies. And we will also have a swap table on site so bring some of your garden delights to share!

Also remember you could be spending some time outdoors so dress appropriately for the weather on the day. 

Everyone is welcome. Fully accessible. 

If you don't have transport and would like to come, please email info@communitygarden.org.au and we will assist you in joining a car pool. 

If you are on a low income or simply cannot afford a ticket but would like to attend, please email info@communitygarden.org.au and we will arrange something for you.

Thanks to our sponsors WaterUps, and PiP Magazine for their generous support.
