Calling all home growers and food enthusiasts!!
Join us for a unique patch to plate event where your homegrown produce takes centre stage. We’ve partnered with Grow it Local on their mission to make life happier, healthier, and more delicious and are hosting a long table dinner with a menu curated from local home grown ingredients directly from your garden.
Our guest speaker, Neville Passmore from The Garden Gurus, will share his extensive knowledge on sustainable gardening practices, while offering valuable insights to enhance your gardening journey. Ecological entertainer and Formidable Vegetable frontman, Charlie Mgee, will bring a fresh harvest of hope and a wheelbarrow load of beets, with songs inspired by principles of permaculture. This community dining experience celebrates the joys of growing, sharing and eating locally grown food.
Menu:
The meal will be prepared based on produce picked and donated by you. We encourage you to bring your fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables to the Mandurah Council Chambers/Civic Centre at 83 Mandurah Terrace on Saturday, March 8th, between 10am and 12 noon. Our chef and Mr Paella will transform your contributions into a delicious meal.
