ESPG monthly gathering

March 1, 2026
Sunday, 1st Mar 12:30 pm - 4:00 pm

To celebrate International Permaculture Day (Sunday 3 May 2026) Eastern Suburbs Permaculture Group will visit the Chadstone Food Forest.

The forest is an “open access community garden” located behind the Waverley Basketball Centre, accessible via Batesford Reserve or Amaroo St. It’s approx 1km from either Jordanville or Holmesglen train stations; there’s also car parking nearby.

First, we’ll lunch at a nearby cafe (RSVP required, spaces limited). Then we’ll be touring the forest, learning from a long-time permie who volunteers there and can share some of its stories… and importantly we’ll make ourselves useful, helping out with much-needed tasks like weeding and planting. BYO garden gloves & tools, and weather-appropriate clothing.

We’re a keen bunch of suburban permies. We usually meet the first Sunday afternoon each month, visiting a permaculture garden/site, and enjoying a shared lunch, often containing homegrown ingredients. Meetings are open to members of Permaculture Victoria and our ESPG Facebook group friends.
