Starting a vegetable garden can be a daunting prospect for some, but it doesn't need to be! This workshop will cover all the basic concepts you need to consider when preparing for your own garden, from design ideas to aspect, bed sizes and planting tips.

Details

Held at our Learning Centre in Melbourne, gardening expert Pete Huff will guide you through all the initial steps to consider when preparing your own vegetable garden. Planning is the key to success, whether it be the design of the available space, the location of your beds, how they are built, the soil and composts, along with general planting techniques. 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.

Additional Details

Please bring gloves and sturdy outdoor clothes suitable for the weather on the day.

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

Public transport is the best way to get to Collingwood College, with Collingwood train station only minutes away. There is generally no parking in the immediate vicinity of the College. Best 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.
