Food growing at home is awesome and regardless of how much garden you have, or experience we want to encourage you!

Grab a cuppa, put your feet up and join us for these short weekly zoom conversations.

We, (Michael and Tania) will talk about our gardens and introduce seasonal garden topics. We will discuss some permaculture principles to help guide us all, as we plan our garden calendars and accompanying life styles.

There will be plenty of opportunity to bring your own questions and experience to the group.

Michael Heiler is the coordinator of Te Puna O Waikato, studied horticulture and is passionate about local food growing and seed saving.

Tania Ashman in her quest to reduce waste enjoys growing food in her urban backyard, including chicken wrangling and beekeeping.
