Event description

Incredible Edible

Have you ever walked past an unloved space and wondered if it could be used to for planting vegetables? Incredible Edible started after a group of friends turn this question into action. Growing spaces led to conversations that encouraged people to imagine that the power of these small actions could help people live happy, healthy and prosperous lives. Lives lived in connected communities, built out of the power of their own will, their own imagination and grown through the power of small actions.

Join Naomi Lacey, of Community Gardens Australia, in conversation with Pam Warhurst, Chair and Co-founder of Incredible Edible. These two activators and champions of urban agriculture are sure to inspire food growing in your neck of the woods!

This is the second evening webinar supporting the Urban Agriculture Forum, proving more opportunities to connect, grow and share. Purchasing a 3-day pass to the Urban Agriculture Forum gives you free access to all three evening webinars!

Registrations close at 5PM AEDT on April 19th.
