Garden & Landcare Gathering November 2025


  • Silver Wattle Quaker Centre 1063 Lake Road Bungendore Australia (map)

Come to Silver Wattle to spend time working on the productive orchard, food garden and on the land. Work includes planting, weeding, harvesting and preparing beds for growing food, as well as caring for the land through re-vegetation, weed control and conservation of native flora and fauna. The schedule allows time for rest, reflection and worship, walking the landscape, learning and working in community and eating delicious, healthy meals prepared by Sam Hawker.

Volunteers are invited to contribute according to their skills, interests and abilities. You can come for part or all days. For volunteers, there is no cost. All meals and accommodation are provided.

Donations to cover costs are welcome, up to $120 per day.

If you do not wish to volunteer, this is also an opportunity to come to Silver Wattle as a sojourner, to do your own thing, to work on your own projects, to write or paint or study, or to be restored and refreshed, while being cared for in a beautiful landscape and warm community. Costs for sojourners are $120 per night for a single room or $100 per night for a shared room. 3 meals, morning tea and afternoon tea are included.

If you wish to combine volunteering with sojourning, please contact us.

Cost:

  • Free for Volunteers

  • $120 per night, for a single room and meals.

  • $100 per night for a shared room and meals.

You are welcome to come for some or all of this sojourner session. When you register, please purchase the number of nights you would like to stay.
