Armidale’s Home Grown Garden Tour is back for its 10th birthday edition on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th February. You are invited into the backyards and community gardens of Armidale’s local food growers. After a tough few years of drought we are grateful to showcase these gardens, thriving in such a wonderful season. Come and share stories and ideas for growing food in our unique region.
The weekend begins with a Welcome to Country at the Armidale Aboriginal Community Garden on Saturday at 9.30am. Then, start your ‘choose your own adventure’ garden tour by visiting the 8 gardens across morning (10 – 12.30pm) and afternoon (1.30 – 4pm) sessions on both days.
Tickets are available online through Eventbrite or in person at Armidale Outdoors, 152 Rusden Street. Cost is $5 if you travel by bicycle or $20 by car. If you purchase an online ticket you will be sent a digital copy of the map and schedule. If you buy one in person at Armidale Outdoors you will receive a hard copy.
AND join us for a ‘bring-your-own’ picnic to celebrate the 10th Birthday of the Home Grown Garden Tour at the Armidale Community Garden on Saturday 26th 4 – 7pm (live music from 5pm; event weather permitting).
PLEASE NOTE: The Home Grown Garden Tour is a COVID responsible event. Please do not attend if you feel unwell or are experiencing any COVID symptoms. Please practice social distancing while visiting gardens and bring a mask in case you can’t physically distance. Host gardeners have the right to control access to reduce crowding when necessary.
This event is proudly brought to you by Sustainable Living Armidale and the Armidale Climate and Health Project, and is supported by a NSW Government AdaptNSW Grant.
Apologies to Jo for holding her up, after she closed the gates on Saturday. My oldie brain should have realised that Jo needed to shut the entry gate.
