The Street Harvest project is being reinvigorated – Please consider growing an extra row of produce in your garden to support this project and Uniting in Wodonga.
All produce can be dropped off at Uniting (1 Nilmar Avenue, Wodonga between. 9:30 am to 12:30 pm Monday to Friday).
The project builds and encourages community capacity and improves food security for Wodonga residents by distributing excess fruit and vegetables, harvested from residential gardens, to local residents and emergency food relief agencies.
‘Street Harvest’ was a pilot project developed in Wodonga in 2010. The Street Harvest Project grew out of a passion for transforming the local food system into one that is sustainable and strong.

Water Smart Gardening seminar
2026-03-14 10:30 - 12:00 | Wangaratta Library, 21 Docker St, Wangaratta, 3677, Australia
Water is critical to a garden’s success, but gardeners need to be mindful about how this precious resource is used. As the climate changes we need to take even more care with how we capture, store, divert and use water efficiently.
Presented by Sustainable Gardening Australia, this workshop will help both you and your garden to become more waterwise. Topics covered include soil care, mulching, plant selection, garden zoning and design ideas to make the best use of available water. Options for capturing rainwater and irrigation will also be discussed, as well as how to garden on the other end of the extreme: when there is too much rain.
This seminar is being run as a part of Rural City of Wangaratta’s March into Sustainability events series.

Marvellous mud - seed bomb workshop for kids
2026-03-28 14:00 - 15:30 | Wangaratta Community Garden, 36 Wills Street, Wangaratta, 3677
Is soil actually alive? Can we make new soil? And what does it take to keep it healthy and thriving?
Join us for a fun, hands‑on workshop where we’ll dig into the incredible living world beneath our feet. Kids will learn how soil forms, why it’s full of life, and what makes it so important for healthy plants and ecosystems. Through interactive activities, we’ll explore how to build, care for, and protect soil, whether in a backyard garden, a pot on the balcony, or out in nature.
Participants will also get creative and make their own seed bombs to take home, helping them put their new soil knowledge into action.
Suitable for ages 5–18. Note, children must be supervised by their own parent or guardian at all times.

This workshop is facilitated by Natasha from Beingreen Permaculture (beingreenpermaculture.com.au) and supported by the Rural City of Wangaratta and Wangaratta Community Garden as a part of the March into Sustainability events series.
