It will be lovely to have you as a friend Che. I would love a couple of your seedlings as I am trying to get my garden back in order after a long hospital stay. I don't live far from you I am in Ellen Grove (the old Carole Park)
Happy Gardening...
Good Evening Che, Welcome to Brisbane Local Foods (BLF). you will learn a lot on BLF I'm sure, I know I did even though I am trained in some areas of Horticulture, it doesn't mean you can't lern more especially at the Garden Visits.
Here at the top of the page, you will find many GROUPS to join. One is these is the GARDEN VISITS, 2018 GARDEN VISITS CALENDAR. I am sure you would enjoy visiting our member’s gardens. We have members who grow many different kinds of Gardens, Permaculture, Aquaculture, Wicking Beds, Traditional and many more. The GV's are usually held once a month. At the GV's we share cuttings, plants, produce, seeds, knowledge as well as a good chat and a lovely Homemade Morning Teas.
We have many subjects of interest, if you have any questions I am sure we would have a member or site available to answer that question. If you feel you are particularly adept in a field you may like to add a new Group to our List or perhaps do a talk or demonstration at one of our GV. If a yes for the GV you might like to friend me and we can see what we can do. We are always looking for new ideas.
You may like to go into your page and change the Pea Leaf Avatar for one of your own, it makes it a little more personal and as soon as we see your own Avatar we know who it is. Please enjoy BLF…..
Welcome Che... I hope you find lots to interest you on the site! Cheers, Cathie
