Immerse yourself in a community gardening experience that nurtures both the environment and your well-being. Each Tuesday morning, join fellow gardening enthusiasts led by Leni from Alchemy Farms to tend the Planetary Health veggie gardens. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature, learn sustainable gardening practices, and enjoy the satisfaction of growing your own food.
After the gardening session, relax and socialize over a complimentary tea or coffee at the Planetary Health cafe. This welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to meet like-minded parents and share gardening tips or stories.
Whether you're an experienced gardener or a curious beginner, this group offers a supportive space to get your hands dirty and contribute to a healthier planet.
The gardening sessions run every Tuesday from 10:00 to 12:00 until the end of 2026. Participants help manage the veggie gardens, with any surplus produce shared among the group. All you need to bring are gardening gloves, a hat, and water to stay hydrated.
These sessions are free to attend and open to all ages, making it a perfect midweek outdoor activity for families looking to engage their children in environmental stewardship.
If you have questions or want to learn more before attending, you can reach out via email to the event coordinator.
The sessions take place at the Blue Mountains Planetary Health Centre, located at 33-39 Acacia Street, Katoomba. To find the gardens, follow the pathways on either side of the building around to the terrace area where the veggie gardens are maintained.
The centre is easily accessible and offers a peaceful setting nestled within the beautiful Blue Mountains region, making it a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle.
Parking and public transport options are available nearby, ensuring convenient access for families coming from across the region.
Please bring your own gardening gloves, a hat for sun protection, and water to stay hydrated during the session. Comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes are recommended for safety and ease of movement.
The sessions are weather dependent; in case of extreme weather, check with the organisers before attending.
Children are welcome to participate, but parental supervision is advised to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
There is no cost to join the gardening group—participation is free. No prior booking is required; simply turn up at 10:00 am on any Tuesday to join in.
Enjoy the added bonus of a complimentary tea or coffee after each session at the Planetary Health cafe, making it a lovely way to unwind and connect with others.
