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!"
Visit Sandfly Jennie and Russell 2024
The December visit of the Food Garden group to Jennie and Russell in Sandfly was one for the self-sufficiency enthusiasts! What a lot of inspiration and delight we all got from this charming and very productive garden.
Visit Old Beach Troy and Jing January 2024
The Food Garden Group visit for January 2024 took place at the amazing oasis that Troy and Jing have created in Old Beach.
A cool, calm spring morning greeted our food garden visitors to Rose Bay this month, where we discovered a gorgeous and highly productive garden tucked away in Max and Gaye’s suburban backyard. In addition to the great garden, lovely company and fabulous food, we were also treated to a crash course in all things crop protection!
In My Garden - Cathy - April 2022
Like most of us in southern Tasmania, Cathy has had an interesting garden season with a very wet spring and an extremely dry summer. Join her for a tour around her garden to see how things went.
The Food Garden Group first visited our property in
September of 2018. Back then our orchard was very new, and our veggie patches
were just being established. We’ve now lived here 5 years and we’re rounding
the corner on our learning curve as our beds, plants and understanding of the
local conditions are settling in for a productive food future.
Visit South Hobart Rosalie December 2021
The rain came and went on a cool Saturday in early December when we met at Rosalie and Grant's place in South Hobart. And what an inspiring visit it was. We had visited Rosalie before, in a previous garden of hers in Sandfly. Then, as now, we were all amazed at the energy, creativity and sheer grit and determination Rosalie brings to her gardens.

Visit - Liz -September 2020
The night before the first Food Garden visit in the Covid19 era, the wind howled and the rain drummed on roofs all over Hobart. But true to form, the morning of the visit dawned sunny and bright and many of us made our way to West Hobart where Liz has a charming market garden.
