Warrnambool Community Garden

Warrnambool Community Garden A welcoming place for our community to grow, learn, produce and share Our gardening is based around organic principles and permaculture.

Warrnambool Community Garden is a common ground where all people are welcome to come together in a spirit of mutual support and friendship to grow, learn, produce and share. We're a membership-based community garden and welcome casual volunteers. Warrnambool Community Garden Inc. formed in 2006 in response to a desire to create a space where people could meet and enjoy the many benefits of gardeni

ng. The garden is now a strong community support around gardening, sustainability, education, the arts and so much more. Our members come from a huge range of backgrounds and the garden fulfils many different purposes for each one. Less than half of our members have a private plots - the majority have joined to be involved in communal activities. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

❄️ MARKET DAY 🌱🔥

At wits end - it's Wednesday again
10 tired eyes and a carful of cries
What can we do... I dread what will ensue
When I suggest bathtime (a.k.a. wartime) again.

But there are the marquees, that fill my heart with glee.
The chatter warms me, the food enriches me.
They fill my basket, and suddenly I feel much further from a casket.

The fresh air, the crazy windswept hair
The community, in unity.
Hump day, garden day
The only way.

Laura Bowman wrote this gorgeous poem about our Wednesday Market and performed it at the Warrnambool Storytelling Festival Gather Together event at Mozart Hall — she captured the chaos of midweek family life and the warmth and community of the Garden just perfectly. 💚

Come join us from 3–6pm for fresh local food, dinner, a warm fire and some midweek community. 🌱

🥕 Fresh seasonal produce & plants from the Garden
🥖 Jane Dough bread & croissants
🥚 Caravan Eggs
