Well—that was a blast. After winning community event of the year last year, our Winterfest came back with a bang for 2022: an amazing line-up of indigenous musicians and entertainers, face painting, fire twirling, Deadly Choice's famous smoothie bike, spray painting, ceramic workshops and a massive hangi that fed everyone with delicious earth-cooked meat and vegetables. We had an incredible time, and the hundreds of folks who joined us seemed equally excited.

A huge thanks to the TAC and the kutalayna Collective for their amazing support—we can't wait for next year!

Over a hundred plucky ladies (and a few gents) made the chilly jump for 24 Carrot Gardens on 2 July, giving us a record-breaking haul of funds raised.

  The annual tradition of an icy ocean plunge for charity continued this year—spearheaded by our fearless leader Kirsha—and was an even bigger success than last year, raising over $215,000 (a huge jump on the $120,000 we raised last year) to support our program’s growth and expansion in the north of Tassie.

The cooking, YouTubing, and all-round general legend Nat from Nat’s What I Reckon stopped by the Botanical Institute (our headquarters in Bridgewater) recently, to check out the community space and meet 24 Carrot catering students from Montrose High School.

Nat told us about some of his personal experiences at school, and his journey to finding stable employment. He talked about how he found comfort in ‘real’ food and what that has meant in his journey. Follow our social channels for more!

Our Bond Place community space is currently transforming (metamorphosing, cocooning, etc) to grow—yes, actually grow—a permanent new classroom structure (there will be built elements to the structure itself, but plant growth will be an integral part of the building), which will allow us to host more activations and workshops, as well as expanding our programming to three days per week.

The build will be complete in October 2022 in partnership with Brighton City Council and Centacare Evolve for the 'Gagebrook Renewal Project', supported by a $140k grant through the Building Better Regions Fund.

Since the start of 2022, five new primary schools in the north and north west of lutruwita / Tasmania have joined our program, along with two high schools. We’ve also recruited our first northern program manager—the excellent Joanne Dean—to oversee and spearhead the 24 Carrot revolution up north.

As the first step in their journey, the new schools are getting busy (with some help from our friends at UTAS) planning their gardens so everything’s ready to rock once we hit the planting season.
