Gather in the garden
Building a Community
Gather in the Garden is a relaxed weekly group that meets every Wednesday at Dungog Shire Community Centre. It offers a welcoming space for people to connect, share a cuppa, enjoy light snacks, and spend time with others in a friendly, low-pressure setting.
The group was created to help reduce social isolation and strengthen community connection. Some weeks are simply about tea, snacks, and good conversation, while other weeks include visits from local services or special guests who share helpful information, resources, and activities.
Gather in the Garden currently takes place in the community garden area on our property, a shared outdoor space that has been cared for by DSCC volunteers over the years. Community members are welcome to enjoy the space and, when produce is available, pick a few fresh items to take home.
Whether you come along to meet new people, hear from local services, or simply enjoy a quiet cuppa outdoors, you are welcome at Gather in the Garden.
