Creative Harvest is a West Gippsland food garden festival celebrating edible gardens, local food and the people who bring them to life. Its 10th annual festival is scheduled for 23 and 24 January 2027, inviting visitors to explore gardens across the region and connect with food growing in their community. The event’s “Where good things grow” theme reflects its focus on gardening, local knowledge and the journey from paddock to plate.

The festival offers garden visits, event updates, galleries and stories featuring food gardening advice and regional producers. Its website shares practical seasonal planting tips, highlights community connections around food, and provides information for visitors, sponsors and people interested in getting involved. In 2025, the event recorded 12 edible gardens, 1,109 tickets sold and 4,353 garden gate entries over one weekend.

Creative Harvest also welcomes community participation through opportunities such as stallholder applications and volunteer or involvement enquiries. Visitors can subscribe for news about upcoming programs and ticket sales, browse past event galleries, and find answers to frequently asked questions.
