My gardening workshops are unlike anything else offered in Melbourne or Central Victoria. Designed to give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to manage your garden independently, they’re grounded in local conditions and scientific evidence.
What makes my workshops different
Designed to make you independent – no reliance on expensive products or ongoing services
Principles first, techniques second – understand why something works, not just how
Grounded in local conditions, not generic advice from another climate zone or hemisphere
Hands-on skill building – you practise, not just watch
What you’ll walk away with
The confidence to solve garden problems yourself
The ability to make informed decisions instead of reacting to problems
Transferable skills, not one-off tricks
Improved observation skills so you can read your own garden
Greater resilience in your garden ecosystem

Hello, I’m very interested in the topics of composting, growing vegetables and fruits and companion planting - but can only attend on a weekend if possible.
