RegenEdible Gardening with Craig & Kerry Castree at the SJ Farmers Market

RegenEdible Gardening with Craig & Kerry Castree at the SJ Farmers Market

Grow Better Food. Build Healthier Soil. Regenerate Your Garden.

As part of our special Growers & Gatherers Market at SJ Farmers Market, we're excited to welcome award-winning horticulturist, author and educator Craig Castree, together with Kerry Castree, for an inspiring morning exploring RegenEdible Gardening.

With more than 45 years of hands-on experience growing food organically, Craig is the founder of the RegenEdible Gardening approach, bringing regenerative principles into our backyards, veggie patches and urban growing spaces.

This workshop is all about growing healthy, nutrient-dense food, regenerating our soils and creating productive edible gardens that work with nature rather than against it.

What You'll Discover

Craig and Kerry will share practical knowledge and ideas to help you:

• Improve soil health and regenerate your garden naturally.

• Grow healthier, nutrient-dense food at home.

• Create productive edible gardens without relying on synthetic chemicals.

• Explore companion planting, biodiversity and natural growing systems.

• Build resilience in your garden through regenerative practices.

• Discover how growing food at home contributes to a stronger, more sustainable local food system.

Whether you're growing a few herbs in pots, tending a backyard veggie patch or looking to take your edible garden to the next level, this workshop will inspire you to think differently about how and what you grow.

Part of Our Growers & Gatherers Market

This workshop is being held as part of the Growers & Gatherers Market at SJ Farmers Market, a special event celebrating our local farmers, growers, producers and the importance of growing food within our communities.

Hosted by the Serpentine Jarrahdale Food & Farm Alliance (SJFFA), the market brings together local growers, fresh seasonal produce, gardening knowledge and community connections.

Part of the WA Food Policy Forum Satellite Events

Our Growers & Gatherers Market is one of the special satellite events being held in the lead-up to the WA Food Policy Forum on Monday, 30 November 2026.

The Forum brings together farmers, growers, community organisations, policymakers and food system advocates to explore how we can build a healthier, fairer and more resilient food future for Western Australia.

As a proud sponsor of the Forum, the Serpentine Jarrahdale Food & Farm Alliance is excited to bring these important conversations into our local community through practical workshops, local food experiences and opportunities to connect with the people growing our food.

Interested in being part of the bigger conversation?

Tickets for the WA Food Policy Forum are available here:

We believe that growing food is about so much more than gardening. It's about reconnecting people with the land, building healthier communities, supporting local food production and inspiring the next generation of growers.

Come along, learn something new and be part of growing a healthier, more resilient local food future!
