Whether you’re part of an established garden\, working on a local food project or just getting started\, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn practical skills and be part of a growing movement strengthening local food communities across NSW. \n\n\n\nCome along for a day of learning\, inspiration and connection — and be part of the movement growing stronger\, more resilient food communities. \n\n\n\nTickets available at https://events.humanitix.com/annual-nsw-community-growing-conference \n\n\n\nThanks to our sponsors WaterUps\, Canterbury Bankstown Council and PiP Magazine for their generous support.
