Join us to celebrate the end of the growing season with an informal community feast celebrating good food, diversity, creativity and connection.
Enjoy seasonal produce from the gardens in a relaxed atmosphere, connect to the surroundings and meet new friends and neighbours over food, art and a communal reflection on deep listening.
Guests will be invited to create their own plates from a colourful display of produce, fermented spreads and seasoning showcasing the flavours of our homegrown harvest.
Participants will also be encouraged to engage in table discussions to allow space for listening, reflections and community making.
We look forward to seeing you there!
