Last weekend saw the start of our Garden to Plate Program holding a multicultural grassroots initiative, through the support of the Federal Department of Home Affairs and the Office of Multicultural Affairs.


Sunday proved to be a beautiful celebration of culture, connection and community! We were honoured to welcome Brian, who shared his Kenyan cultural heritage with us by preparing a traditional Kenyan breakfast for the community.


From preparing and sharing food, to stories, music and meaningful conversations, the session gave us a wonderful opportunity to connect through culture and cuisine.


A special thank you to Seraphim for sharing her moving music and beautiful voice, adding another layer of uniqueness, depth and connection to the morning.


Take a moment to watch the video below and come with us on our journey as Garden to Plate brings people together through food, culture, stories and community.




As the program progressed, we are looking for more community members who would like to join us in celebrating their culture at the community garden, through sharing their traditional cuisine.



We look forward to having more of the community at the community garden to sharing this program with us as it evolves.


We thank Tom French MP, the Federal Department of Home Affairs and the Office of Multicultural Affairs for their support for this program, and to ZaZa's Legacy for collaborating with us to undertake this program.




Wonderful start to 2026, thanks to the Hawaiian Group!

Last year, our Charity submitted an application to be considered for the Hawaiian Group's Neighbourhood Champions Program. Since then we have been notified that the 2025  nomination process was highly competitive, with a high number of applications received. The submissions covered a wide range of themes, from Poverty Alleviation to Arts & Culture and Environmental initiatives, providing valuable insights into the issues that matter most to our communities.

 

After an extensive review and voting process, Hawaiian Group announced that Padbury Community Garden Inc. has been chosen as Hawaiian’s Hillarys 2025 runner-up winner for their 2025 community grants program.



Subsequently, PCG have been awarded a grant of $1,000, to further support the important work our Charity undertakes in the community.


We would like to acknowledge and thank Hawaiian Group and Hawaiian Group's Neighbourhood Champions Program for supporting the community via this funding opportunity.


We would also like to pass on our congratulations to our partner Charity, ZaZa's Legacy for being awarded a grant in this program as well.


Thank you to our valued PCG member, and regular volunteer, at the community garden, Dayle, for sharing this funding opportunity with the Committee. 


If you find a funding opportunity that fits the Padbury Community Garden Inc. aims and purposes, please share it with the Committee at padburycommunitygarden@gmail.com
