Whether it is a potted paradise or a few raised beds, growing your own can be useful way to buffer the rising cost of groceries. Getting the Seeds, Seasons and Soil right can take a bit of practice.

Join us for our next workshop with Wink from Aquila FoodForest in Mumbelup. Wink will share plenty of tips and tricks to help your garden thrive, exploring everything from Planting and Productivity through to Organic Pest Control.
