Earth Day in Perth: 10 Ways to Celebrate at Perth City Farm
In 2026, Earth Day falls on Wednesday 22 April and if you are in Perth, Western Australia, you’ve got the perfect mix of city convenience and nature on your doorstep.
Whether you want to volunteer, learn a practical skill, run a workplace activity, here are some ways to celebrate at Perth City Farm in East Perth.
Earth Day Ideas at Perth City Farm
- Join an Earth Day workshop (or book one for your group)
Perth City Farm workshops cover practical “kinder living” skills like food growing, preserving and fermenting, permaculture, recycled crafts, sourdough, cheesemaking and more. Perfect Earth Day energy, without the guilt trip.
This year we have a special event on Earth Day – stay tuned. Or we have a calendar of wonderful workshops here, Perth City Farm Workshops.
- Book a private workshop for your workplace, community group, or friends
Want Earth Day with less scrolling and more doing? Book a session tailored to your group (great for teams, birthdays, hens, or community groups). Enquire about private workshops here.
- Volunteer for a hands-on session
Earth Day is the planet’s birthday party, and volunteering is showing up with something useful. Perth City Farm has volunteer pathways and options that can suit different skills and availability. Read more about our volunteer program here!
- Turn Earth Day into a corporate volunteering activity
If you’re a business in Perth looking for a meaningful team day, corporate volunteering is a brilliant Earth Day option that actually achieves something tangible. Find out more about what it’s like to be a Perth City Farmer for a day.
- Do an Earth Day “food waste to soil” challenge
Set a simple challenge: for one week, collect food scraps at home or the office and learn what can be composted, what can’t, and why it matters. Then take your questions to a composting or food-growing session at the Farm.
- Visit the Recycling Hub while the gates are open
Earth Day is a great prompt to do your “recycling drawer of doom” clean-out.
Perth City Farm has a recycling hub that’s accessible when the front gates are open.
Add a checklist of what we accept at the hub here.
- Spend a Saturday morning at the Farmers Market
If you’re celebrating Earth Day week and want a low-effort win, shop local. Perth City Farm runs a Saturday Farmer’s Market.
- Run a “meet your food” mini-tour for your family or friends
Even a simple walk-through of an urban farm shifts people’s mindset: food isn’t born in plastic packaging, shocking as that may be.
- Make it a low-waste café catch-up
If you’re meeting friends, choose a café stop that aligns with your values and keep it simple: bring a reusable cup, keep it local, skip disposable extras. Don’t forget to check out Be Free, the sustainable café on site here at Perth City Farm.
- Host your own Earth Day gathering at the Farm
If you’re planning a community event, workshop, or workplace gathering, consider venue hire that fits the Earth Day vibe. Perth City Farm offers private event options and spaces. Take a look here.
