Greenups Spring. In The Garden

Greenups Spring. In The Garden

Wed, Oct 7, 6:00 AM
From GreenUps - Sydney's Green Drinks
4.4

For the Spring event we’re doing green drinks old-school style. Join us, [Greenups](https://greenups.au/), [Regen Sydney](https://www.regen.sydney/) and the [Pocket City Farms](https://www.pocketcityfarms.com.au/) crews, in the garden (the beer garden & the veggie patch), with the sun on our backs, dirt under the nails, beer in hand, for some casual, low-key, easy 'spring in the air' vibes. Spring is the time to prepare the soil, plant seeds, and tend to the young crops. So let’s get outside, reconnect, tend, nurture ourselves, find strength, and just have some fun! **Why** A lot of people in the broader Greenups community have had their shoulder to the wheel for years now - working on climate, nature, cities, food, energy and systems change - many, now experts in their fields. And a common refrain lately: “It’s hard.”... Frankly, many of the things we’ve fought for are not going the way we’d hoped, and we're all feeling the pressure. ...so it's often followed by “I’m exhausted.” So spring feels like a good moment as any to call a small time-out, to stop and smell the natives. **What to expect** In the spirit of the early Greenups: let’s just turn up, meet some good people, have a drink, swap ideas and see what grows. Old faces, new connections, good music, tasty food, feet on the ground, fun in the sun. Zero “sage on a stage” vibes. Daylight saving will have just started. It’s the last week of the school holidays. It's a kid-friendly venue, and kids eat free at Camperdown Commons on Wednesdays! \* **Who** Pocket City Farms will show us around the farm, including a garden tour, and bring us up to date on their journey so far, and where to next. We’re inviting some of our Regen Sydney and Community Garden friends along too, with hopefully another special guest to announce soon. \* No, this not only for families, not at all. This will be a regular Greenups for grownups, but at a venue that is well suited to kids. So if you want to bring your 'young crops', please do!

Frequently asked questions

To locate documentary screenings in Sydney, use the Meetup platform to explore local film groups. You'll find events that organize screenings regularly, enabling you to join gatherings and discussions around documentaries.

Joining film groups on Meetup is straightforward. Create an account, search for documentary film groups in Sydney, and click to join. You'll receive notifications about upcoming screenings and discussions.

Meetup connects people who share similar interests by facilitating local and online gatherings. Whether it's documentary screenings in Sydney or diverse activities, it's a hub for community building and exploration.

Depending on the hosting group's settings, some screenings might require a ticket or offer free entry. Checking the event details on Meetup before attending ensures you have the correct information.

Yes, many documentary screenings include discussion sessions afterward. It's an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and insights with fellow attendees, deepening your understanding of the film.

RSVPing for a documentary screening is easy. Once you've joined a group on Meetup, you can click the RSVP button on event pages to confirm your attendance and stay informed about any changes.

While not guaranteed, some screenings attract local filmmakers, especially those showcasing Sydney-based initiatives. Engaging in post-screening discussions increases your chance to connect with industry insiders.

Meetup does its best to help you find fitting groups, but it can't guarantee groups for every niche interest or city location, including specific documentary themes in Sydney.

Yes, some groups also offer virtual components or entirely online film discussions. This flexibility allows broader participation, appealing to those who prefer or have to join remotely.

Of course! While joining multiple events could enrich your experience, attending a single screening and discussion can still be fulfilling. RSVP for individual events that pique your interest.

Topics range widely, ensuring varied content—from socio-political documentaries to environmental films. Each screening event will usually specify the film, so you know what to expect before attending.

While Sydney offers a vibrant Meetup scene, the availability of events still depends on local group activity. Large cities typically have more active scenes, with more frequent documentary sittings.

Not always. Comprehensive event details will indicate film subtitling, ensuring you can enjoy the screening fully if it involves non-English dialogues—important for truly diverse stories.

Meetup excels in fostering group activities but isn't focused on making one-on-one connections. Group settings cultivate shared experiences through documentary screening and discussions.
