Creative Harvest 'Edible Gardens Festival' has blossomed into a cherished annual event, where our community comes together to celebrate the beauty and bounty of homegrown food. Visitors immerse themselves in a vibrant atmosphere of creativity, connection, and collaboration, exploring private veggie gardens and gleaning expert tips to cultivate their own edible patches.
At the core of Creative Harvest's success are our generous sponsors. Their invaluable support not only fuels our vision but also enriches the experiences of every participant. Beyond financial contributions, our sponsors embody a true partnership, sharing our values and goals to foster a thriving community.
As we reflect on the impact of their support, we extend our heartfelt gratitude and encourage everyone to recognise and reward these businesses. They are the backbone of our volunteer-powered, non-profit event, and their commitment to our community is truly inspiring. Let's work together to strengthen these partnerships and cultivate an even brighter future for Creative Harvest.

Baw Baw Sustainability Network Creative Harvest is the brainchild of the Baw Baw Sustainability Network. As a not-for-profit community group with charity status, BBSN strives to lead and take action on sustainable living. Established in 2007, the Baw Baw Sustainability Network focuses on two main areas: helping people reduce their energy use at home or small businesses and promoting local food networks and gardening. In addition to Creative Harvest, the network runs regular meetings and information nights, hosts a gardening group, and offers a range of energy assessments and draft-proofing retrofits. | |
