Greenups Spring. In The Garden

For the Spring event we’re doing Greenups old-school style.

Join us, Greenups, Regen Sydney and the Pocket City Farms crews, in the garden (the beer garden & the veggie patch). with the sun on our backs, dirt under the nails, beer in hand, for some casual, low-key, easy 'spring in the air' vibes.

Spring is the time to prepare the soil, plant seeds, and tend to the young crops.

So let’s get outside, reconnect, tend, nurture ourselves, find strength, and just have some fun!

Why

A lot of people in the broader Greenups community have had their shoulder to the wheel for years now - working on climate, nature, cities, food, energy and systems change - many, now experts in their fields.

And a common refrain lately: “It’s hard.”... Frankly, many of the things we’ve fought for are not going the way we’d hoped, and we're all feeling the pressure. ...so it's often followed by “I’m exhausted.”

So spring feels like a good moment as any to call a small time-out, to stop and smell the natives.

What to expect

In the spirit of the early Greenups: let’s just turn up, meet some good people, have a drink, swap ideas and see what grows.

Old faces, new connections, good music, tasty food, feet on the ground, fun in the sun.

Zero “sage on a stage” vibes.

Daylight saving will have just started. It’s the last week of the school holidays.

It's a kid-friendly venue, and kids eat free at Camperdown Commons on Wednesdays! *

Who

Pocket City Farms will show us around the farm, including a garden tour, and bring us up to date on their journey so far, and where to next.

We’re inviting some of our Regen Sydney and Community Garden friends along too, with hopefully another special guest to announce soon.

* No, this not only for families, not at all. This will be a regular Greenups for grownups, but at a venue that is well suited to kids. So if you want to bring your 'young crops', please do!
