Gardening for the Future
Every 1st and 3rd Saturday we host an open volunteer meet-up in the gardens at the centre. Everyone is welcome, no experience necessary. The meet-up is led by gardener, grower, and environmentalist Dr Helena Simmons who will support people to get involved.
The activities include building raised beds, learning about ‘no-dig’ growing, planting vegetable and flowers, harvesting, and the never ending weeding and pruning to keep the gardens tidy. All activities relate to the sustainability, improving biodiversity, and tackling the climate emergency.

Coorie Community Café
Every 1st and 3rd Saturday enjoy the Coorie Community Café, a creative space in which to spend time at Forgan Arts Centre. There’s always tea in the pot, coffee brewing, juice and snacks, all free of charge.
Each week centre staff organise art and craft activities, or you’re welcome to bring your own project. The cafe is for people of all ages and is an opportunity to explore the grounds and gardens and meet new people.
