On Sunday 6 May the Ashwood College Permaculture Food Garden is open from 8.30am till 4.30pm. Park on Vannam Drive and enter the garden by foot: the entrance is opposite Beechwood Terrace. $5 entry for waged, free entry for under 18s and concession. You'll get a guided tour led by a qualified permaculture designer, who will explain permaculture design principles as you walk through the garden, so you can see the results in action.

We have chickens, loads of alpine strawberries, great purple beans, chokoes on the vine, Rondo de Nice Zucchini and last but definitely not least we have watermelon "Sugarbaby" - completely delicious.

We'll run the pizza oven, come and check out our shade house, see our fruit trees before they get pruned and check out our honey bees...

If you can't get there on the day, we're open every Wednesday and Saturday morning. Call Mariette on 0414 58 88 21 to talk about anything garden, to book a course or to organise a pickup of mulch!
