A weekend to explore productive gardens and discover the secrets to growing healthy food in your own backyard

This festival is dedicated entirely to edible gardening — celebrating the growing trend of producing your own fresh, nutritious food at home.

Held over one weekend, the festival invites visitors to explore a curated selection of productive gardens across Adelaide and the Hills.

From suburban veggie patches to larger fruit orchards, each garden showcases how everyday people are growing:

• Flavour-filled vegetables
• Fresh-tasting fruits
• Herbs, berries, and more

Visitors can talk directly with garden owners to learn:

• What they grow
• How they grow it
• Tips for planting, composting, harvesting, and pest control

The festival celebrates how edible gardening nourishes body and soul, encouraging people to get outside, connect with nature, and enjoy the simple satisfaction of growing food.
