Hey folks, we'll be opening up our gardens to the public during the Winter Heritage Fruit Tree Festival this Sunday, August 9, from 10am onwards.
Come along and support us by purchasing some veg or seedlings. We'll also be on hand to show off our newly expanded garden, talk about our native edibles, edible flowers, no-dig gardening, volunteering opportunities, and to answer all your home veg gardening questions.

A big shout out to the volunteers who helped out at today's event, you are awesome!

And to those of you who supported our fundraising efforts by purchasing some of our veg, thankyou so much, your generosity builds community.

Lastly, to the new friends and future volunteers we met today, we look forward to seeing you in the garden soon.

You don’t have to live in Sunshine to be part of Sunshine Harvest Garden 🌱

We’re in Werribee South — but our name comes from the Sunshine Harvesters scattered across the farm, and the spirit of people showing up to grow food together.

On Sunday March 1st we’ll be fund-raising from our our veg stall at the garden gate during the Werribee Park Heritage Orchard Festival.

And honestly?
We’re hoping to meet a few future volunteers.

If you’ve been thinking:
“I’d love to learn how to grow food.”
“I want to volunteer, but somewhere real.”
“I care about local food.”

Come say hello.

We’re a small, volunteer-run garden growing organic vegetables using no-dig methods — and there’s always room for one more pair of hands.

Sometimes it starts with buying a bunch of kale.
Sometimes it turns into growing it.

See you at the garden.

🥔 Potato trial results are in! 🥔

Today we harvested the results of our no-dig potato trial, and we’re pretty thrilled with how it turned out:

✅ Red Foo: 33kg
✅ Dutch Cream: 40kg
✅ Maris Piper: 47kg

All from just 5kg of seed potatoes of each variety, planted back at the beginning of October.

These were grown using no-dig methods — simply laid on the soil and covered with mulch. Even better: they were pulled up by hand, no forks or spades needed! No damaged spuds, and no washing needed! 🙌

A big shout-out to — Melbourne’s potato legends and a regular at markets — for flying the flag for great spuds and inspiring a bit of potato obsession over here 🥔💚

And most importantly of all, a huge thanks to our awesome vollies who helped with both the planting and the harvest — this is what teamwork (and good soil) looks like 💚

💜 This week’s flowers for the Refectory 💜

A soft purple mix harvested this morning from the Sunshine Harvest Garden at Werribee Mansion — chive blossoms, society garlic flowers, and sprigs of flowering oregano.

All grown organically in our no-dig volunteer garden, and arranged as part of our standing weekly order for the Refectory. These blooms bring color, fragrance, and a little bit of garden magic to their tables each week. 🌿✨

Huge thanks to our volunteers who tend, pick, and prepare these beauties — your work keeps this project thriving!

🌱 Garden Expansion Has Begun! 🌱

Some exciting news from the Sunshine Harvest Garden — after months of planning, we’ve officially started expanding our growing space!

The first fence posts went in this week and are now concreted firmly into the ground. Over the next few weeks the rest of the fencing will take shape, marking the start of a much larger area for organic, no-dig veggie beds, flowers, and community projects.

A huge thank-you to our volunteers and supporters who’ve helped us get to this milestone. We can’t wait to share updates as the new garden space unfolds! 🌿✨

🌸 This week’s flowers for the Refectory 🌸

Fresh from the Sunshine Harvest Garden at Werribee Mansion — a mix of cosmos, coriander flowers, and nasturtiums, all grown organically as part of our no-dig volunteer gardening program.

These cheerful blooms are part of a standing weekly order from the Refectory, helping bring a touch of colour and fragrance from the garden to the tables. 🌿

Big thanks to our amazing volunteers who nurture these plants from seed to vase — your work brightens so many spaces! 💐
