On the 19th and 20th May at Perth City Farm we are Gathering together the largest group of community gardeners in West Australian history. Community gardens are diverse, creative places that grow communities and food as well as model sustainability, and are central to securing food and our future. Over the last year, we have visited community gardens and gathered your ideas through our poll. We  have designed and planned this Gathering with you in mind.

 

There will be a range of exciting opportunities for participation that include:   stimulating Plenary sessions, action-packed Open Space discussions, challenging Companion Circles, and exploratory sessions to Build Capacities. Community Gardens from across the State have been invited to host an Engagement Activity (click here to register your interest). We'll also have City Farm tours, Skills Sessions and plenty of time to mingle. There will be live music, and (sigh) spaces to stop, stretch and take a breath. There's something for everyone.

 

This event will enable community gardens to share knowledge, produce, ideas and experiences with others. This is an opportunity to show what community gardens contribute to our world and then plan for action to strengthen and build our network. 

 

We'll see you there!
