25.01.2022 Rock-It Landscapes will be returning to the Kalamunda Garden Festival Online this Saturday via our free Facebook group: Kalamunda Garden Festival Online. David's rock work is fantastic. Check out his amazing creations.

25.01.2022 My wife and I fund the Kalamunda Garden Festival ourselves and we enjoy offering it as a free event for the community. As we’re preparing for the next Kalamunda Garden Festival Online on Saturday August 29th, we just want to say thank you again to those businesses and individuals who have made a financial contribution in the past to help the event: Grasstrees Australia, Baileys Grow Gardens, Soil Solver, Colour Patch Plants, Good Gut Crew, Matthew Hughes Member for Ka...lamunda, Domus Nursery and of course our major sponsor, the Kalamunda Plant Company. A massive thank you to Sabrina Hahn - Hort with Heart for her ongoing support and to Seasol. X. Andrew.

24.01.2022 We often get asked why the Kalamunda Garden Festival is still online. Mandy and I run and fund the event and offer it free for the community to enjoy. With social distancing still in place and with the large number of people we attract into such a small space, we don't have the resources (despite our attempts) to adhere to the regulations and run the event safely. We would love to return to the physical event on this occasion, but we’re not willing to stage the event, knowin...g that we won’t adhere to the rules and therefore potentially put the safety of people at risk. As organisers of the event, we have a responsibility to do what’s right. We love the online format and the possibilities it has to offer. We hope you enjoy the next Kalamunda Garden Festival Online this Saturday.
