Come along to help us celebrate the opening of a new Community Garden in Narwan Village, East Armidale. We are growing a garden to promote fresh, healthy and sustainable food choices; cultural pride and community confidence; and the environmental knowledge and connection to Country that Aboriginal peoples have held for tens of thousands of years.
The Open Day will be held from 1pm on Saturday the 23rd of May at the garden site, Mossman Street, East Armidale (near Doody Park Oval), with parking via Mann Street. The highlight of the day will be a visit from well-known celebrity gardener, Costa Georgiadis (ABC’s Gardening Australia). There will be performances by local musicians and dancers, farmers’ market stalls, speeches from local community leaders and Aboriginal Elders, a free BBQ and campfire cooking, and opportunities for guests to have their say about the future of the garden, and to sign-up to become garden members.
