A beginner's workshop on growing vegetables with as little money as possible. Saturday May 16th 11am-2pm (rain date May 23rd) at 14 Wills crescent, Ashhurst.

With the cost of food (and everything else) ever increasing and more people looking to backyard garden, we’re here to help cover some basics to get you started successfully. 

This is aimed at beginners and is renter-friendly so if you’ve never gardened before and want to get growing without dropping a rent/mortgage (or tank of petrol!) amount of money at the garden centre this is for you. 

In this workshop we will cover ‘in bed composting’ (also known as lasagne gardening) to build soil with free and cheap materials, site analysis (the best spots to start your garden and common mistakes to avoid), seasonal planting, companion planting, natural homemade fertilisers and pest control, easy vegetables to grow, direct sowing seeds vs seedlings, container gardening and more.

$10 waged and $5 unwaged or student. Registrations can be made HERE

Hot drinks and some snacks provided, but please feel free to bring a packed lunch.
