My Smart Garden presents Edible Gardening for Small Spaces and Renters!

Just because you’ve only got a balcony's worth of sunlight doesn’t mean you can’t grow herbs, veggies, and even selected fruit trees. Come along and see how you can put your patch, courtyard, or balcony to good use. We will cover suitable containers, plant varieties and sunshine requirements for your small area, so that you too can enjoy the satisfaction of being able to say “I grew it myself!”

We will emphasise low or no-cost organic methods and discuss growing in pots for renters and people with courtyards or balconies. No prior knowledge or experience required!

We’re hosting this event at the Maidstone Community Centre in the garden room, which joins onto the centre’s garden. This venue is accessible for people using wheelchairs and other mobility aids and includes a charging point for wheelchairs and mobility aids, accessible toilets, and accessible parking. If you have any access or support requirements in order to take part fully (eg. interpreter), please let us know at least two weeks prior to the event and we will be pleased to assist you.

Bookings through Eventbrite are essential.

Please note that this is an event for Naarm/Melbourne gardeners only. If you live outside this area, please contact your council to find out what free, sustainable gardening events are available locally. This workshop takes place on Wurundjeri country, we respectfully acknowledge their elders past, present and emerging.
