Keep Learning Mid Canterbury and Ashburton Community Garden are hosting a light-hearted community food-sharing event celebrating one of the most affordable, adaptable, and underrated vegetables: cabbage. Come along for a cabbage-themed shared lunch and recipe swap, where local cooks, gardeners, and curious food lovers can enjoy dishes from a mix of cultures, trade recipes, and discover fresh ideas for using this humble vegetable. Entry is free when you bring a cabbage-based dish to share. Any type of cabbage is welcome, and guests are asked to bring a printed copy of their recipe so others can take a photo or add it to the garden’s growing recipe book. Those who are not cooking but would still like to taste and gather recipes can attend with a $5 ticket. This is a relaxed and welcoming gathering for gardeners, adventurous home cooks, budget-friendly food fans, and anyone keen to see just how creative cabbage can be.
