Time Out says

North of the city, this Brunswick haven includes a small vegetable farm, chook pen, permaculture and bush nursery and community kitchen in the park surrounds. Believe it or not the CERES estate used to be a barren plot of land when it was first established in 1982. Anyone of the 400,000 yearly visitors can attest to how verdant the grounds have become since then. For anyone interest in permaculture and sustainable living, a visit to CERES is inspiring (and you'll probably pick up a tip or two). 

Keen to get involved? The park’s rambling paths lead to community kitchens, a weekly marketplace and several education centres.

What’s on

CERES Festival of Flowers

  • Fairs and festivals

Flowers can brighten up any day, but what can make it even brighter is the simple pleasure of getting to pick them yourself. Beloved community garden CERES is spreading this blooming joy throughout the warmer months, welcoming visitors every weekend to come and harvest a fresh bunch.  On Saturday mornings from 10am, head to Coburg site for the Festival of Flowers, where you can pick your own blooms at Joe's Market Garden. There are blossoming sunflowers, zinnias and cosmos to choose from, and you'll be able to build a beautiful bouquet with up to ten individual stems. Sessions are $30 and you can book a spot here.  Plus, there'll also be special floral events held on some Saturdays, including workshops on how to put together the perfect bouquet, flower vase arranging with floral experts and even eco-dyeing tote bag classes for kids. Book your place in an upcoming workshop here.  The Festival of Flowers will run until the end of April, with U-pick flower sessions happening every Saturday from 10am to 1pm. Find out more on the CERES website.  Are you a floral fanatic? Here's a guide on where to see beautiful blooms near Melbourne.
