THE team at Basils Farm is passionate about using sustainable practices in their extensive kitchen and market gardens.<\/p>\n
From modest beginnings, the edible gardens have been a labour of love, growing to become a key feature of the farm, supplying produce to the cafe and local businesses.<\/p>\n
Set on the shores of Swan Bay near Queenscliff, Basils Farm, which is also home to vineyards, a caf\u00e9 and cellar door, has run seasonal gardening workshops for a number of years.<\/p>\n
Basils\u2019 in-house gardening guru and farm manager Igor has helped many participants turn their own patch into a place of abundance, health and beauty.<\/p>\n
On Saturday November 17, Basils will be running a new workshop for those wanting to ensure their garden thrives over the summer months.<\/p>\n
During this workshop, participants will learn more about preparing their garden for summer,
\nwhat to plant, including natives and drought tolerant plants, nutrients composting and mulching, plus a comprehensive demonstration and discussion on irrigation and water saving strategies.<\/p>\n
The \u201cGet Ready for Summer\u201d Gardening Workshop runs between 10am and noon, and costs $40 per person.<\/p>\n
