Illawarra Edible Garden Trail

The Illawarra Edible Garden Trail is back for its third year running! The Trail will take place on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd of November between 10am-3pm between Helensburgh and Shell Cove. This event is in partnership with Food Fairness Illawarra and Healthy Cities Australia, and with thanks to sponsor Gilly’s Kitchen Garden. 

WHAT?

The Trail is a fun weekend of garden hopping across the Illawarra, from private sunny backyards to balconies and verges, native habitat corridors, community and school gardens and everything in between. Come and enjoy a weekend of connecting with your community, meeting like-minded people, and discovering ideas for your space, to put more backyard fruit and veg on your dinner plate!

WHERE?

A collection of edible gardens will be open from Otford to Shell Cove. Note: some gardens are open both days, whilst others will be open Saturday OR Sunday. Check out the Garden Profiles for 2025 at https://foodfairnessillawarra.org.au/join-the-illawarra-edible-garden-trail/?preview=true
