National Community Gardens Day 2026
Celebrate the power of growing together this National Community Gardens Day, on Saturday 7 November 2026.
Across Australia, community gardens are invited to open their gates to welcome visitors, share stories, and showcase the magic that happens when people come together to cultivate fresh food, vibrant green spaces, and strong connections. Whether you’re an experienced gardener, a curious beginner, or simply love the idea of a thriving, sustainable community, this is your chance to see what’s growing in your neighbourhood and be inspired by the people who make it happen.
From hands-on workshops and garden tours to seed swaps, children’s activities, and shared harvest feasts, National Community Gardens Day is a celebration of the creativity, diversity, and generosity that community gardening brings to our neighbourhoods. It’s a day to connect with your local growers, learn new skills, and discover how community gardens contribute to food security, environmental care, and social wellbeing. Mark your calendar, find your local community garden here and get in touch with them to find out what’s happening. Bring your friends and family, and be part of this nationwide celebration of community, culture, and connection — right where the seeds of change are planted.
