Growing your own food in your backyard brings peace and joy to the home.

Have you ever wanted to grow your own food and wondered where to start?

Join Kathryn and Jo at Northern suburbs community centre on Friday August 16 from 10am to 2pm.

We will start the day by making our own sourdough bread to share with a wholesome soup made from garden produce for lunch.

As an example, we will wallk you through permaculture design principles used in the kitchen garden design for the Northern Suburb Community Centre.

Bring your ideas and after lunch we will guide you on how to design your garden for maximum benefit based on the local environment.

There will be the opportunity to put your hands in the soil and plant some herbs, with kitchen garden plants to give away so you can begin your garden at home.

Coffee is served with sugar, but in the country side some people use salt. Milk is not usually put in the coffee. Coffee can be served along with popcorn or peanuts. Popcorn being the popular one. In some households the coffee ceremony is conducted three times a day. One during breakfast time, one at lunch, and one at dinner.
