Are you interested in growing your own fresh produce but unsure where to start? Whether you have a spacious backyard, a small balcony, or just a few pots by the window, this seminar will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to grow food in any space!

With the rising cost of fresh fruit and vegetables and the increasing impacts of climate change, growing your own produce is a powerful way to enhance food security, improve sustainability, and enjoy the satisfaction of homegrown, nutrient-rich food.

Join Transition South Barwon for an inspiring and practical seminar with gardening expert Shaun McLeod from Intuitive Garden Design and Maintenance. Shaun will share his extensive experience in urban gardening, covering essential topics such as:
✅ Making the most of small or unconventional spaces
✅ Choosing the right edible plants for your environment
✅ Container gardening and vertical growing solutions
✅ Soil health and sustainable gardening techniques
✅ Tips for maintaining a productive garden year-round

This is a free community event, but we encourage attendees to bring a small contribution for a shared afternoon tea—a great opportunity to connect with others passionate about sustainability and local food systems.

No prior gardening experience needed—just bring your enthusiasm!

Mark your calendar and join us for an afternoon of learning, inspiration, and community connection!

This event is proudly run by Transition South Barwon in partnership with the Grovedale Neighbourhood House and funded by the City of Greater Geelong.
