The Veggie Club

It's my favourite workshop because everyone always comes away happy.

20 people turned up at for our terrarium workshop and they all went home with a work of art.

You don't have to be a gardener to enjoy making terrariums and most of these participants weren't gardeners.

They surprised themselves with how easy it was and how creative they could be with a few simple instructions.

I love the cross generational aspect of this activity too, enjoyed by all, from 8 to 80 years old.

Want to gather a group together and make your own terrariums? DM for more details.

Composting is not just managing waste. Your compost heap is alive. A single teaspoon of healthy compost contains more microbes than there are people on earth. By composting, you aren't just managing waste; you’re managing a tiny, productive ecosystem.

Worms are the ultimate "silent workers" for our land. A healthy worm farm can eat its own weight in scraps every day. They turn your leftovers into "worm tea," which is one of the most powerful natural liquid fertilizers on earth.

Around 50% of organic waste materials are in the average household bin. Every year Australian households generate around 14.6 million tonnes of organic waste. If you just compost it, you instantly halve your rubbish output and stop the "bin juice" that makes your bin smell.

Compost is a water-saving tool. Adding just 5% more compost to your soil can quadruple its ability to hold water. Whether you’re watering a balcony pot or a regional veggie patch, composting is a modern way to protect our land from drought.

When food is trapped in a plastic bag underground, it produces methane - a gas that's 25 times more potent than car exhaust at heating the atmosphere. Composting lets the scraps breathe, turning that gas into solid nutrients.

Today's your chance to check out some amazing gardens in the Southern Highlands NSW.

It's another perfect autumn day to go to open gardens that you wouldn't otherwise see. And make a stop at the newly opened Burradoo Park Farm.

It's definitely worth a Sunday drive and the weather couldn't be more perfect.

Don't forget to stop by the plant fair at to grab some take home goodies too.
