On a mission for “Love and Peas” and to make kids fall in love with veggies! The Vegetable Plot are funky roots and soil musicians Aspara Gus, Ru Barb and Sir Paul McCarrotney.

First sprouting at the 2014 Sydney Fringe, where they won the award for Best Children’s Show, these ARIA-nominated food revolutionaries serve up a bumper crop of catchy tunes, earthy grooves, colourful characters, sweet harmonies and truly rotten puns. They will plant seeds of joy and inspiration in the hearts of young and old that will blossom for years to come.

This beloved Aussie kids band have travelled all over the country playing their funky-fresh tunes and spreading “Love and Peas” at giant festivals, tiny daycare centers, community gardens and even the Sydney Opera House. No gig is too big or too small!

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