Get ready for a garden party like no other! Join us at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne, for a day of music, creativity, and sustainability. Hosted by the beloved Costa Georgiadis, this event invites families to connect with nature and community in a vibrant, picnic-style celebration.

Enjoy the eco-conscious beats of Formidable Vegetable, the ultimate permaculture picnic band, and groove to their swingfunk tunes while kids and adults dance on the grass. Add some flair by dressing as your favorite native flower or a garden gnome—your sparkle will make the day even brighter!

Pack a picnic of your favorite local foods, bring a blanket, and relax in the lush gardens while exploring the wonders of sustainability and creative gardening.

Part of the National Sustainability Festival, this event is the perfect way to connect with loved ones, learn about sustainable living, and celebrate the beauty of nature. Don’t miss this unforgettable day—see you at the gardens!
