Incredible Edible Mini Gardens

[Return to the Harvest Homepage]

It's amazing what can be grown in the tiniest of spaces, be it a window box or a container in a small back yard. As long as plants get sunlight and water, and a bit of love, they'll flourish.

People who become Incredible Edible Mini Gardeners will be given a starter kit of a container, compost and seeds, plus the support of a local growing champion, a trained volunteer who will be able to offer advice and support to make sure that everything goes well.

Incredible Edible Mini Gardens is coming to a place near you in April & May.
