Seasonal Transitions, Soil Recovery & Planning Ahead

As summer winds down, autumn offers both a second wind and a chance to reset. This workshop is all about extending productivity into the cooler months while setting the stage for next season’s success. We’ll explore quick-turn autumn crops and how to transition from peak-season productivity into calm, intentional management. You’ll learn how to close gaps in productivity, protect soil over winter, and create a garden that keeps giving—even as the days grow shorter. Perfect for gardeners who want to maximise output, reduce disease pressure, and head into winter with confidence.

Date: 18th April 2026
Time: 9:00am – 4:00pm
Location: Five Tales Farm, Piedmont, Victoria
