In this one day course, we will cover all the essentials to create a thriving edible garden. Whether you’re living on acreage, in town or in an apartment, this workshop has been designed to suit your needs. We will be looking at growing vegetables and more and how to get the most out of your patch, regardless of size or experience.

Some of the topics covered:

  • Site selection

  • Nutrient cycling

  • Soil health & preparation

It doesn’t matter if you have an established garden or you're only just thinking about taking the plunge into the world of growing: there'll be plenty of juicy content to inspire your growing dreams.

We have limited numbers so that you can have a wonderful immersive experience.
