Edible Organic Gardening Workshop

Learn how to do simple and easy organic gardening to grow your own edible herbs, vegetables & garden plants with our gardening short courses in Sydney!

Join this class to create an edible organic garden. Recycle fruit and vegetable scraps to develop your own garden soil fertility. Learn the simple and effective methods of composting that make sense for your lifestyle. No need to be perfect when simple common sense works just fine. When was the last time that you tasted a homegrown tomato? When you do - you will know why tomatoes are a no-brainer for superb flavour, as well as a baseline nutritional dynamo for your organic garden. And why weed, when rapid mulching will do the work for you?

And above all, you get to recognise the inherent value of doing things the smart organic way, which reduces waste, increases health, improves environmental outcomes, and produces nutritionally value-added fresh produce from your own garden.

Bring your gardening knowledge and excess plants to class to share with the group. In the gardening world, we all learn from diverse sources and experiences.
