The Sydney Edible Garden Trail is back on 4 and 5th November 2023. If you have ever wanted to grow an edible garden, then join the trail and be inspired.
What is the Sydney Edible Garden Trail?
The Sydney Edible Garden Trail is a once-a-year urban edible garden trail run throughout Metropolitan Sydney, celebrating the many ways that Sydney residents are creating food security, building self-reliance, and saving money and the environment while enjoying the health benefits of homegrown fruit and veg.
Their aim is to encourage and inspire growing edible produce in street gardens, home gardens and public spaces across Sydney (and it all started on the North Shore with the help of Lane Cove locals).
This community event showcases sustainable practices such as mulching for water conservation, recycling and composting to increase soil fertility and reduce landfill, planting to encourage bees, home food production to increase food security, and organic growing techniques to reduce chemical use. Learn about aquaponics, worm farms, wicking beds, banana circles, caring for poultry, companion planting, crop swaps and more.
It’s a community not-for-profit event where profits are used to provide grants to build and improve school and community edible gardens.
How To Follow the Trail
Visit a multitude of gardens by car, bus or foot on this self-guided tour. The trail runs from 9 a.m. to 4 pm on the 4th and 5th of November 2023, with tickets valid for both days.
