Get ready for a juicy burst of musical comedy with The Vegetable Plot, a brand-new live show by the multi award-winning Australian children’s band. Featuring vibrant characters like Aspara Gus and Sir Paul McCarrotney, this fruitastic family adventure is packed with catchy songs, funky flavors, and tropi-cool puppetry that will have your little ones smiling from the inside out.

Enhance the fun by pairing the show with the Magical Garden Music and Songwriting Workshop.

This is a perfect opportunity for children to explore their creativity in a lively and supportive environment.
