Market Garden Showcase - Lessons from the year

Join us to share some lessons, joys, and challenges of the growing season.
One ticket (sliding scale $5-$50) will give you access to all six workshops in the winter series! 

While our gardens are put to bed, or at least slowed down, for the winter, let's gather together virtually and share the learnings of the past season. Growers from around the country will share some of their techniques, their successes and challenges, and some images from their growing season. Think of it as a virtual tour/workshop where we'll learn some growing methods, business insights, and more. There will be ample time for questions following each presentation so that participants can find out more specifics about topics that are of interest to them.

Each session will run for about an hour to an hour and a half.

This will be an interactive platform for networking, sharing knowledge and ideas and highlighting and celebrating the diversity of growers and their practices around Aotearoa. We look forward to seeing you there!

Thursday 18 July, 6:30pm - Saskia & Elle from Vagabond Vege in Wairarapa, Wellington
