A full trail is a great trail!

We already have over 30 wonderful gardens registered, but we still have a few empty spots in the Lower Blue Mountains

Whether you’ve got a sprawling food forest, a maze of raised beds or a tiny potted patio, we want to showcase your space!

Joining the trail is a fabulous opportunity to share what’s possible in our local climate, inspire others to grow, and build community food resilience together

⏳ Register by August 31st!

Containers and challenging spaces is a celebration of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of edible gardeners making the most of difficult situations

P.S. Not all gardens will specifically fit the theme (all gardens are welcome!) but all gardeners have challenges they have overcome! 💪

What other containers and challenging spaces can you think of? 🪴
