Central Coast Council is partnering with Grow It Local to get residents excited about growing and sourcing produce locally so that we can work to reduce food waste across the Central Coast!
You can join the Grow It Local community to register your veggie patch, see what's growing locally, connect with local growers and learn the tips and tricks for growing your own produce.
As an added treat for those looking to improve their food sustainability practices, Grow It Local has announced its third annual Grow It Local Festival - a celebration of backyard, balcony, community garden and window-sill farmers, which will run from September 1 through November 30, 2021.
The festival programming features free, live digital workshops with gardening personalities including Costa, Sabrina Hahn and Paul West plus monthly Ask An Expert sessions where aspiring growers can ask a question and get an answer.
Gardening Australia's Costa is first up on Saturday September 11 and will be hosting a session on 'how to build a verge garden'. Next-up is Sabrina Hahn whose October workshop is titled 'From novice veggie grower to habitat warrior, food for yourself and others' followed by Paul West in November with 'Homegrown'.
