Gather & Grow, will be joining the Spring into Parks 2026 campaign with a special event. The aim is to inspire more people to get outdoors and experience the many benefits of spending time in nature.

Nature is right on our doorstep. You don't have to travel far to enjoy the benefits of spending time outdoors.

• Spending time in nature supports physical health, mental wellbeing and social connection.

• Spring is one of the best times of year to explore WA's national parks, marine parks, forests, reserves or your local community garden.

Everyone is welcome to attend: families, grandparents with grandchildren, travellers, and friendly dogs.

WHEN: Thursday morning, 9 - 12pm and 3 to 4pm.

WHERE: Forage Community Garden, Cannery Arts Centre

Morning tea and gardening equipment supplied.

This event is made possible with the support of the Shire of Esperance, WA Parks Foundation, Lotterywest, Regional Arts WA, Smith Shearer and the Cannery Arts Centre.

Come down to the Cannery Arts Centre and off to the left-hand side of Norseman Road; our Forage Community Garden is attached to the far side of the Innerspace Building.

Kat Walkerden will lead a group of keen volunteers to tinker away at any necessary work to keep our garden beds and vegetables in full swing all year round. Join us, bring a friend, make some more, and create in our vibrant, natural haven.

We're here to strike inspiration into the hearts of would-be gardeners and spread an appreciation for nature in our community. If you belong to our community garden, you know the benefits you reap from participation extend far beyond a bountiful harvest. Taking part in the Forage Community Garden is a fantastic way to engage with your neighbourhood and support our green spaces around the Cannery Arts Centre.

If you miss the feeling of digging your hands deep down in the soil and planting, a patch of ground in the Cannery garden is pure magic. Our Forage Garden also serves as a nutritious source of fresh produce to take home. We look forward to seeing you at our next meet-up! We have provided morning tea if we still need to convince you enough to pop down. FREE to attend, and no registrations are required.
