Home Harvest on the SURF COAST - 22nd February

A$400.00

Learn how to grow like a professional at home - Five tales are coming to the Surf Coast

We are excited to host this event in a new developing homestead and spread the growing knowledge beyond Gippsland

This workshop is designed for home gardeners ready to elevate their skills with proven techniques drawn from years of hands-on market gardening experience. We’ll cover the critical tasks that underpin a productive garden: precision seed starting for strong transplants, soil preparation methods that build fertility and structure, and crop selection tailored to your site, goals, and climate. You’ll learn how to identify early signs of pest and disease pressure —and how to prevent them with proactive, low-intervention strategies. We’ll also dive into succession planning, spacing, and layout for a steady, reliable harvest across the season.

This is a course for all levels and will give you tangible skills.

This workshop is a standalone and not a part of the home harvest full season

Date: 22nd February 2026
Time: 9:00am – 4:00pm
Location: 35 Eagle Point Road, Bellbrae, VIC
