Getting started in the family vegetable garden (Palmerston, Otago)

Do you want to grow food in your backyard but don’t know where to start? Or you have some ideas but confused about what to plant when and where? Let me help you not just get started but give you a plan that will guide you over the next few years.

This course will cover key skills: what to grow and when, preparing the ground, planning what to plant and how to care for your garden. See how it is possible for you to learn the skills of growing food for the family and create your own little patch of paradise in your backyard.

This course will be based around the Vintage Style Crop Rotation Poster (which you get to keep!) which is an attractive and useful classical garden plan you can adapt to your own plot.

Suitable for those just starting out or those who want to just gain confidence and knowledge when it comes to growing.
