If you've been tempted to start growing more from seed and pack your garden full of flowers and food without spending hundreds of dollars at the garden centre, then this is a great session to come to. .

Bonus: Each attendee will receive a ticket for the online seed sowing course, valued at $25.

Not included: The supplies for a starter kit range from $5 to $40, depending on how much you want to grow. Choose on the day, or book a kit ahead of the session. You are also welcome to bring your own trays and seeds.

Each week of gardening at the Women's Centre includes a garden tour, with advice on how to tend an edible garden at this time of year. There are often seeds to collect, plants to divide, cuttings to take.

It's a delightful venue, one of my most favourite gardens in Auckland. I am sure you will feel right at home - while we're there gardening you can make yourself a cup of tea, pick up some flyers on the courses on offer, and check out the calendar of social events.

Through the spring I will teach a few modules from my edible gardening curriculum - pick the topics that suit your interests, or come along each week for the company, get your questions answered, and shop for extra plants and tools from my mobile shop. I don't put anything on a courier, so this is a great chance to order seedlings or seed-raising mix.

Items for sale for the seed sowing session will include:

• microgreen starter kits
• seed raising mix to grow your own food at home (bring a bucket)
• wooden seed trays (limited supply)
• coconut coir, pumice sand, sifted compost (bring a bucket)
• stainless steel buckets

Note: This will be postponed in the case of wet weather. Refunds need to be requested before the session is scheduled to start, otherwise the session will be recorded as an online session via zoom.
