Our café changes it's menu daily to take advantage of what is available in the garden. Join our resident chef Luke to learn how you too can make the most of your harvest and pick up a few tricks of the trade.
Your camera is the best record keeper of your garden, gardens you have visited, plants you have grown, or plants you are interested in.
But modern digital cameras have a reputation of being too complicated and hard to use, so come along to our camera session. Start making the most of your camera… for work or play.
Phil Seymour is an ex-ABC cameraman (he shot many “Sow What” programs with Kevin Heinze) with a passion for all things photographic and horticultural. Phil spent ten years with a photographic retailer teaching customers how to use their new cameras.
In our session we cover the basics, simple care of your camera and the things to consider when using your camera in a garden setting. Of course, your holiday photos will benefit too!
