You are 5 Sessions away from a stronger, healthier, more productive garden!

Lisa Long from WorkerBe Oasis

Our spring workshop series starts in November!

Growing things in the Wellington region can be frustrating, but attending our workshops gives you the opportunity to learn some area-specific tips.

Grow More Veges! workshops will be starting November 5th to get your garden match fit.

Each session is designed to teach you what you need to get started for the spring and grow your own veges.

All workshops run Sundays 2pm-3.30pm in Newtown - exact location given by email or text as this is weather dependent!

Single workshop: $25 (discount for several)
Full workshop series: $100
