🌸 Spring is in full bloom! Join our local community for Spring Fling at Warrnambool Community Garden — a free, all-ages celebration of gardening, creativity, food and connection on Saturday 14 Nov 👇🪻🎶

Spring is when the garden really comes alive, and we'd love you to come and enjoy it with us 🌸🪻🎶

Join us for Spring Fling at Warrnambool Community Garden on Saturday 14 November, 10am to 2pm.

It’s a free, all ages celebration of growing, making, sharing, feasting and connecting.

Wander the six acre site, meet the bees, chooks and worms, enjoy live local music, grab something delicious, browse plants and preserves, and discover plenty of hands on fun along the way.

Bring your friends, bring the kids, bring a picnic rug if you like.

We'll have the gates open and the garden looking its springtime best.
