Family picnic and planting day

Free family planting day at Artarmon Reserve! Learn gardening, beautify the park, and a hot drink and a picnic together outdoors.

Bring the family along for a relaxed and hands-on day in the park, where nature, community and connection come together!

The family picnic and planting day is a free, family-friendly event designed to encourage residents to enjoy their local open space while playing an active role in caring for it. Families will be invited to get their hands dirty, learn simple planting skills and help beautify Artarmon Reserve under the guidance of Council horticulturists.

The day will then wind down into a relaxed picnic atmosphere, giving families the opportunity to connect, enjoy the outdoors and celebrate their shared contribution to the park.

To make the day even more enjoyable, complimentary hot drinks provided by Liquid Infusion will be available. Families are encouraged to bring along their own picnic food and a blanket to enjoy time together in the park following the planting activities.
