AUSTRALIAN NATIVE FOOD GARDENS

Pocket City Farms is continuously updating our covid practices to make our workshops and events as safe as possible, following the current guidelines and recommendations.

Do it for the birds, for the bees, and for your plate. Growing Australian native edible plants is a great way to boost the diversity in your garden - for both the pollinators and your own diet. Perfectly suited to our climate, native edible plants are often easy to grow, and provide beneficial relationships with other edibles. 

This workshop will teach you the background of our Australian native food plants, how to identify species, as well as how to grow, care for, propagate and harvest native edibles. You'll also have the chance to taste test some of our local species and learn how to use them in your cooking or for medicinal use at home.

Suitable for: All ages. 

Provided: Taste testing and detailed notes. 

Bring: Paper, pen, hat + gloves. 

Our teacher: Narelle Happ is a garden designer and horticulturalist who specialises in native garden and permaculture design. She has over a decade of experience and is passionate about creating ‘living’ spaces which are nurturing, productive and sustainable.
