Gather Together
July

Gather Together

On a winter’s night, gather in the cosy glow of Mozart Hall for an evening that honours how gardens grow and how we grow with them. We invite you into the world of Warrnambool Community Garden through stories of soil, seasons, and the people who’ve weathered it all.

A lively panel featuring three generations of gardeners - a founding member, a dedicated volunteer, and a fresh face - will share insights into the garden’s history, its role in community life, and the transformations it’s fostered over nearly 20 years of shared love and labour. Expect honest reflections, laughter, and a few surprises from behind the compost heap.
