Beloved Aussie kids band The Vegetable Plot first sprouted at the 2014 Sydney Fringe, winning the award for Best Children’s Show.

Since then, Aspara Gus and friends have travelled all over Australia, playing their funky-fresh tunes, spreading “Love and Peas”, and serving up a big wriggling heap of truly rotten jokes.

Now part of the ABC Kids music family, with multiple international awards, two ARIA nominations and millions of Spotify streams to their name, The Vegetable Plot has grown into that rare thing: a “kids band” that adults enjoy listening to just as much as the kids.

Join them on their mission of Love and Peas!

Catch The Vegetable Plot in the Garden of Giggles at the Ballarat Begonia Festival!

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
