About our Open Garden

Previously owning a large, labor-intensive ornamental garden, Sharon decided that only plants that were edible or that were otherwise beneficial would be planted when she moved to her new house at Table Top in 2012. She departed from the traditional “vegie patch down the bottom of the garden” approach and incorporated the edible garden into the decorative landscape of her home.

Having little experience at growing food, Sharon founded the online community “Grassroots Living Albury-Wodonga” and embarked on a ten-year gardening experiment that has included wicking beds, no-dig gardens, lasagna beds, hügelkultur, worm towers, grow bags and more. She is passionate about growing food without it costing the earth, using reclaimed materials where possible and of course, growing almost everything from seed. She now harvests hundreds of kilos of food every year and loves to share her successes and failures in the hope others will be inspired to do the same.
