Talofa … Afio Mai. sister Rasela dishing up the dirt on local food gardens.

Horticulturalists and Permaculture peeps of the Shire, Don and Beck are out there getting their hands dirty … for you !! Yup, if you are interested in planting, sewing, growing, eating and admiring your own food from your very own garden then look no further than outside your own window. How ??? you may well ask, especially if you don’t have the foggiest idea where to start or if you don’t know your carrots from your cucumbers (there is a difference in colour i am told).

Never fear … help is here !!! These people know what they are doing and they want to do it for you … yes YOU.

We had a great discussion today on how, where, when and why to plant a functionally frothing garden … positively blossuming with goodness and vitality.

May i suggest … just for now … (that is until i sit down and really get into the nitty gritty of what this interview was all about) that you contact these passionately positive land lovers and ask them a thing or two about what it means to start your own garden. They have piles of organic fertilisers to feed your brain with, mountains of mulch to nurture your whims and wants … they are very friendly (which is why we invited them on belly) and would LOVE to hear from you i’m sure.

You can currently email them on – localfoodgardens@gmail.com to discover the world of acidic soils, fertile farming, seasonal planting, recommended places to plant your goodies and how to make the very best out whatever situation you have found your garden to be in.

They were a joy to speak to and an inspiration to me. I know that if you meet them you will certainly agree.

With local food gardens of love i bid you farewell until next out muddy patches cross.
