Open Home Discussion – Sat 29 November


Growing Vegetables at the Beach

Sandy soils and salt spray can make growing vegetables a challenge. For Soil and Health member Charlotte McHaffie, living 200 metres from the beach is a mixed blessing. Visit Charlotte and Scott at their house in North Beach to learn how they have created an edible garden on the sand dunes. Accompany them on a guided walk to discover which plants grow best on the coast.

If you’re interested in learning more about beach gardens, or would like to meet other Soil and Health members, make sure you come along to our November talk.

When: 2.00pm on Saturday 29 November
Where: 50 Cygnet St, North Beach (just north of the North Beach Surf Club)
Cost: Members free, Non-members $2.00
So the speaker has an idea of numbers please R.S.V.P.

Hi

Just to say a big thankyou to Charlotte for opening up her garden (and home) for a very well attended event. As enthusiastic but ignorant gardeners we found many aspects really interesting and were made to feel welcome.

Thanks for the advice too, we felt truly inspired (if not a little daunted)
