Join us for our South Australia Autumn Meet-Up on Sunday 24th May 2026 from 10:30am – 12:30pm.
World Therapeutic Horticulture Day (WTHD), is a global initiative aimed at raising awareness of how plant-based activities improve mental and physical health. It highlights the work of practitioners and encourages communities to experience the healing power of nature through gardening, horticulture therapy, and nature-based sensory experiences.
‘Garden Connections’
Join Therapeutic Horticulture Australia at our Autumn Meet Up at the Fern Ave Community Garden, Fern Ave, Fullarton
Fern Ave Community Garden is a vibrant, volunteer‑run green space where neighbours come together to grow food, share knowledge and build connection. Tucked into the heart of the community, the garden is home to thriving vegetable beds, fruit trees and pollinator‑friendly plantings, all cared for collectively by local residents.
More than just a place to grow produce, Fern Ave Community Garden is a hub for learning, wellbeing and social connection.
The garden regularly hosts workshops, working bees and community events that welcome people of all ages and experience levels, whether you’re a seasoned gardener or simply curious to get your hands in the soil.
With a strong focus on sustainability, inclusion and collaboration, the garden fosters a sense of belonging while demonstrating how small local actions can nurture healthier people, neighbourhoods and ecosystems.
Join us to connect with nature, network and celebrate the simple joy of growing together.
Meet your host, Tara Graham-Cochrane
Registered participants will be notified of an alternate location in the event of inclement weather.
