2026 WA Community Growing Conference 🌱

Join us for a day of inspiration, practical learning and connection at the 2026 WA Community Growing Conference, bringing together community gardeners, volunteers, sustainability advocates and anyone passionate about growing food and building stronger communities.

Presented by Community Gardens Australia in partnership with Grow It Local and Permaculture Australia, this exciting event will be held at The Wetlands Centre, Bibra Lake on Saturday 15 August, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm.

The day features inspiring presentations from Mel Logozzo, Brownwyn Chompff-Gliddon and Peg Davies, along with a panel discussion on growing volunteer support and community engagement. We're also thrilled to welcome Josh Byrne as our special guest, joining us over lunch to share his passion for sustainable living and community action.

You'll explore practical ways to strengthen your garden, increase financial sustainability through renewable resources, make the most of your existing assets, and build lasting community support. Alongside the inspiring program, enjoy a delicious lunch, plenty of opportunities to network with fellow community food growers, and leave with fresh ideas, new connections and practical skills you can take back to your garden.

Whether you're part of an established community garden, a local food initiative or simply keen to grow more food and stronger communities, this is a day you won't want to miss. We look forward to welcoming you!

BYO Keep cup, water bottle and bag for goodies. We will also have a food swap table so bring along your excess produce to share with others.

The full program can be found both here and on https://communitygarden.org.au/events/.
