Growing Abundance Workshop - Permie Gardening

Did you now we actually have 3 summers in the veg garden here in the subtropics? 

We have 3 distinct seasons for cold temperate, Mediterranean and tropical crops in the garden.

This is one of the secrets to successful vegetable gardening in the subtropics for Nthn Rivers and SE Qld.

This info-packed weekend course will cover:
• seed saving,
• companion planting,
• crop rotation,
• working with the subtropic seasons,
• planning year-round food supply - subtropical three 'summers'
• making compost & compost tea and worm juice brews,
• perennial and tropical vegetables & tubers,
• garden to table tips for harvest, post harvest and cooking unusual vegetables.

This weekend course will balance theory and hands-on practical learning at Djanbung Gardens, a 5+acre permaculture education centre where the concepts taught are practiced.
