About 30 people, including a brief visit from Planning Minister Justin Madden, volunteered their time to help Ann-Marie turn her patch of lawn into a planted out no-dig vege patch with woodchip paths and potted friut trees.

Another great mixture of new-comers and regulars, young and old, first-time gardeners and experienced gardeners, locals and visitors made for a fantastic social and productive day! 

Our aim

To assist individuals and families set up edible home gardens to:

* produce delicious, cheap, home grown veggies, herbs and fruit * develop their gardening knowledge and skills* learn how to use  water efficiently in the garden* develop contacts with other home gardeners in your area* enjoy gardening together! 

How the edible gardens project works

* We work with you to design a great food garden using permaculture principles.

* With your help we organise a “Permablitz Day” where family, friends, neighbours and other volunteers come together to build the food garden, eat together and have fun! (Like a Backyard Blitz)

* We provide any necessary training in organic food growing.
