Pull up a chair, settle in. Feel the welcome embrace of community wrap warmly around us all as we share, connect and celebrate the things bring us together.

On a winter’s night, gather in the cosy glow of Mozart Hall for an evening that honours how gardens grow and how we grow with them. We invite you into the world of Warrnambool Community Garden through stories of soil, seasons, and the people who’ve weathered it all.

A lively panel featuring three generations of gardeners - a founding member, a dedicated volunteer, and a fresh face - will share insights into the garden’s history, its role in community life, and the transformations it’s fostered over nearly 20 years of shared love and labour. Expect honest reflections, laughter, and a few surprises from behind the compost heap.

After a break for hearty garden-made soup, local bread, and mulled wine, the evening opens to a chorus of voices. Poets, storytellers, and songwriters are called to share their own memories and musings on growth, nature, and connection. Whether you’re a green thumb or just love a good story, come warm your heart and imagination with us.

Please note that food and drinks are not included in the ticket price, however these purchases on the night are welcomed, with proceeds directly supporting Warrnambool Community Garden.
