Designing a vegetable garden can be a daunting prospect for some, but it doesn't need to be! Led by experienced garden designer Derek Ashby, this workshop will cover all the basic concepts you need to consider when designing your own kitchen garden space. Be it large or small, you'll learn everything you need to know, from design ideas to aspect, through to the ideal bed sizes for your garden.
Details
Held at our Learning Centre in Melbourne, design and build expert Derek Ashby will guide you through all the initial steps to consider when designing your own vegetable garden. Good planning is the key to success, whether it be the aspect, the number and location of your beds or how they are built. Using the Learning Centre garden as a guide and discussion tool, the group will work through best-practice concepts to take home and put into practice.
