Visit Hillwood Charles and Irene 2024

On what could only be described as a glorious warm spring day, a short drive to the north of Launceston found us in the large 4 acre garden overlooking the Tamar River. Beyond the extensive ornamental beds we discovered the large area of productive food garden. Fruit trees aplenty (many of them espaliered), grape vines and berries along fences and supports, quaint garden structures and flowers galore waiting to be explored.

 Visit Otago Gemma and Geoff 2024

Max unerringly picked brilliant spring weather for the Food Garden Group visit to Gemma and Geoff's garden in Otago. And what a garden it is! There was so much to see and discuss.

Visit Conningham Loes 2024

Despite weeks of stormy weather, Max and Gaye waved their magic weather wand, and we relished the first food garden visit of the season under clear skies and sunshine at Conningham.

And what a delight to join nonagenarian Loes, in her lovely north-facing garden – flowers, fruit trees, native plants, a vegie patch and chook run combining with a beautiful view out over North West Bay.

Visit Kings Meadows Denby 2024

The first ever Northern Food Garden Group visit was a major success with 30 enthusiastic people turning up with great contributions to the produce and morning tea tables. There was some sun, not too much wind, and even some Northern warmth in the air, as we looked around host Denby's great garden. After sharing our food growing experiences, many good chats, and a great morning tea, everyone left with a smile on their face and produce, seeds or plants in their hands. This was a brilliant start to what promises to become a vibrant Northern group. Read all about it below.
