Garden Day

The Upper Hopkins Land Management Group invites Landcare members and friends to join us for a day to learn about gardening and soil health. Everyone is encouraged to get together to learn and share their experiences. 

The day will begin with a walking tour of Balancing Rock Farm, an expansive and well-managed home garden. There will be hands-on demonstrations of composting, orcharding, worm-farming and developing a vegetable garden. 

After lunch, Matthew Evans (the Gourmet Farmer from Fat Pig Farm) will discuss his personal experiences with creating a garden and his growing realization of the importance of taking care of the soil to improve our food, our health and our planet. He is the author of twelve books and a star of the long-running SBS TV series, The Gourmet Farmer.
