Green Gym is a free program for anyone aged 50-80 in practical conservation that aims to improve health, well being and create vibrant community spaces. It’s outdoors, it’s fun and you’ll be learning new skills, meeting new people and giving back!

A typical Green Gym session goes for 3 hours and will involve a warm up activity to get you ready for the day and a cool down after your session. You be guided in practical conservation and gardening work such as planting and potting, collecting seeds, watering, harvesting food, mulching and much more.

A delicious and healthy morning or afternoon tea is provided, and engaging conversations encouraged.

We also encourage you to come along once a week to feel the full benefits of the program.

You will gain important skills and learn all about the world of native Australian plants.
