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.

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.
