This is a theory and hands-on class which will be limited to 12 participants to ensure each participant will have an opportunity to individually discuss their own garden with the Karen and experienced support staff.

During the morning you will complete a draft outline of a new garden design for your home and an action plan to create an abundant garden. Please bring in a photo and a sketch of your own garden to help with this process. You will leave the class with a draft garden layout and action plan to help you begin.

Karen has trained in both horticulture and permaculture, and grew up living a kitchen garden lifestyle in country Victoria as part of an extended family of knowledgeable growers and preservers. Karen’s business Edible Eden Design operates from her property Gunyah Garden in Pascoe Vale, which is regularly part of the Australian Open Garden scheme.

Enter the College via the main reception area, which is located near the end of Cromwell Street, and follow the signs to the kitchen.

Public transport is often a good way to get to Collingwood College, with Collingwood train station only minutes away. However, on Saturdays there is usually parking available in the immediate vicinity of the College. Other parking options are generally the north and south sides of Hoddle Street, in Gipps Street and in the parking zone at the end of Islington Street.

Please note, the Foundation endeavours to proceed with each Public Workshop as planned, however in the instance of very low numbers of registrants or other unfortunate events we reserve the right to cancel a workshop up to 48 hours before scheduled. In all cases we will do our utmost to inform registrants a week in advance of any cancellation, and a 100% refund will be made
