Come and experience a fabulous two days with Costa Georgiardis and the team from Community Gardens Australia at The Nerang Country Paradise Parklands on the Gold Coast. Join with your fellow community gardeners from around the country to experience speakers, workshops, tours, panel discussions, demonstrations and more!
An amazing community lunch will be prepared as well as morning and afternoon tea are included in the ticket.
Bring along some of your produce to share and we’ll have a food swap at the end of the day.
There will be a great range of experts to learn from, hands-on workshops and many opportunities to connect with folks from other gardens.
Keynote speakers:
will inspire us with discussions around social permaculture and inclusiveness in the garden.
Workshops:
are just some of the workshops that will be available in the afternoon.
Everyone is welcome and the event is fully accessible.
