Hands-on gardening workshops
Led by Mac, a tertiary qualified horticulturist and former TAFE human services teacher and lecturer. Our interactive workshops combine practical horticultural skills, sustainable organic methods, and plenty of fun for groups of all sizes and abilities.
Workshop formats
Designed to be structured, engaging, and hands-on, each workshop is tailored to match your group's goals. Every attendee receives comprehensive take-home notes, complimentary seeds, and curated learning resources. Community group rates start at $350 per hour.
2-hour taster
A concise, energetic introduction to core skills. Ideal for school groups or quick community garden demonstrations focused on seedling care, healthy soil basics, and natural pest control.
Half-day deep dive
Our popular 4-hour format provides ample time for both theory and guided practical application. Perfect for learning seasonal pruning, compost creation, and permaculture foundations.
Full-day masterclass
A comprehensive 7-hour workshop covering the full cycle: soil biology, seeding, feeding, harvesting, storage, and shaping productive, chemical-free native and edible spaces.
Growing skills, confidence, and community
We believe gardening should be accessible, empowering, and enjoyable for everyone. Whether you are managing an established community allotment or planning a corporate team garden day, we bring expert guidance directly to you.
Tailored learning for every audience
With extensive experience in community development and adult education, Mac adapts every session to suit diverse learners—including primary and secondary schools, community groups, corporate teams, and participants requiring sensitive or accessible setups. Topics range from natural pest and disease control to building resilient soil biology and supporting native wildlife.
