Spring has sprung at the Warrane Community Garden

Clarence residents will once again welcome back the blooming flowers and beaming sunshine during the annual Springfest celebration at the Warrane Community Garden.

Held on Saturday 19 October and delivered in partnership with Clarence Arts and Events, Springfest will feature local growers, producers and enthusiasts offering plants and produce, workshops, live music, line dancing, a scarecrow competition, children’s activities and much more.

Garden Coordinator Katie Kristensen said funds raised from the event would go towards building the proposed Garden Hub.

“The hub will be an all accessible, all weather, multipurpose building at the garden which will provide increased opportunities for our workers and educational programs,” she said.

“The award-winning Springfest event is the Warrane Community Garden’s seasonal community event and fundraiser and we are pleased to be partnering with Clarence Arts and Events to deliver this event in 2024.

“This year’s event will feature a variety of local experts including, everyone’s favourite Tomato Guy, Roscoe, who will be back with a selection of lovely heirloom tomato seedlings.”

Ms Kristensen said there were still spots available in the morning sessions for experts to share their knowledge with the sizable crowd.

“We would love to hear from anyone who would be willing to offer a 10 to 15 minute talk, workshop or demonstration related to plants, garden, produce or handcrafts during the morning,” she said.

Interested stallholders and community groups can contact Ms Kristensen at 0499 078 490 or katie@wmnc.org.au

The 2024 Springfest will be held at the Warrane Community Garden on Saturday 19 October from 9:30am to 12:30pm.
