Urban agriculture month

Urban Agriculture month was introduced by Sustain Australia in 2021 to help celebrate, showcase and spread the understanding of what urban agriculture is. Sustain Australia’s definition is::

growing and producing food in cities, towns and suburbs; in backyards, in laneways and balconies, on verges and in schools - to empower local action. Creating healthy food hubs, volunteering opportunities and meaningful community connections.’

November will be a chance to find out where and what Yarra residents and organisations are growing food/supporting urban agriculture in the city, and to join in on a variety of activities.

We have an event here!

Date: Friday 15 November

Time: 10.30 -11.30am

Event: Morning tea and tour of garden and discussion around  integrating edible plants in garden design (permaculture principles etc.)

RSVP if you can for catering purposes by emailing us or giving us a call.
