Take Your Garden To The Next Level!

How did your garden go this season, did it totally pump or do you feel like your patch has plateaued? If you’re ready to take the leap from beginner to intermediate, and get your patch exploding to the next level, then this is the workshop for you. Join Adam Hancock as he shows you the tips and tricks that anyone can use to get their patch going from ho-hum to holy moley! Adam is a professional gardener and passionate home grower and will share with you how he gets his plants jumping out of the ground. From how to look after your soil and choosing the best plants, to making sure that your patch keeps pumping year round! For some inspiration on how your patch could be looking, check out Adam’s work on Instagram: @adam__hancock

Time To Get Your Subtropical Garden Singing!

As the southern states begin their descent into winter, gardeners in the Sunshine state and anywhere with a subtropical climate are gearing up for their most productive time of the year. The weather is cooling off (by QLD standards) the fruit flies are gone and the humidity is dropping. Time to get out into your patch and set yourself up for a glorious dry season garden. This workshop will be presented by the wonderful Claire Bickle. She’s a sub tropical gardener through and through and knows first hand the challenges as well as the benefits of growing food closer to the equator. She’s a horticuturalist with over 20 years experience and is passionate about growing organic food for her family in the subtropical environment. You can check out Claire’s work on instagram @clairebicklesgoodlife

Regenerative Gardening, making the world a better place one patch at a time

No matter how big your patch is, whether it’s a few pots on a balcony or a full blown market gardener, as food growers we are powerful agents of change. Food growers create less waste and make more compost, they grew healthier food and help to build resilient communities! With a regenerative mindset, and working with nature rather than against it, it’s amazing what a difference a determined gardener can make to a landscape. Join everyone’s favourite desert gardener, Heath Joske, as he shares with you his permaculture approach to managing his patch. How he manages water, how he uses plants and how with the power of compost and seaweed, he is breathing life back into a run down old sheep paddock. For some inspiration and to see what Heath is all about, check him out on Instagram @sea.to.soil.farm
