Have a great Christmas and a happy 2026!

This December newsletter is a few days early because both the Northern and Southern December food garden visits will be held on the first weekend of the month. In this newsletter - what to do in your food garden in December, last month's visits in words and pictures, hothouse tips and hints, thinning fruit, your food garden this coming winter, and more.

Visit Old Beach Chris & Jenny 2025

Situated in the rain-shadow impacted suburb of Old Beach, Beechill is well on its way to becoming a very productive food garden thanks to the hard work of Chris and Jenny.

 

Visit Grindelwald Pam 2025

Northern members were intrigued by Pam's food garden in November. A sheltered position in a bush setting  200m downhill from the house, the garden has presented many challenges. Challenges include the wildlife, black sticking clay soil and learning from trial and error.

In this newsletter - our changing climate, what to do in your food garden in November, this month's Northern and Southern food garden visits, last month's visits in words and pictures, Botanical Gardens tomato sale, and more. 

Visit South Launceston George and Kathleen 2025

Despite the cold and windy weather, the northern visit to George and Kathleen's garden in South Launceston was well attended and much enjoyed.  A very steep block has been terraced with every space well utilised and showing promise for a very productive summer season.  Vegetable beds, fruit and nut trees, berries, chooks and bees generated lots of discussion. 

Visit Sandford Aimee and Greg 2025

The October visit for the Southern Food Garden Group was an inspiring reminder of how much can be achieved in a short time when two experienced gardeners put their hearts and minds (and backs!) to it.  Aimee and Greg moved to their Sandford property a little over two years ago and have transformed it into a beautiful and productive garden that, as one visitor said, "has everything!"
