Taranaki LandGirls Event - A Productive Patch, Starting from Scratch
We start 2020 with a visit to a small holding, which started as a bare paddock 3 years ago, and has been turned into a productive food growing area using organic principles, .
Phill and Ann Tarr are hosting this event at their property on 636 Inland North Road, Tikorangi. Phill will share his wealth of growing knowledge gained over many years, as well as his "sieve" composting technique. All your questions will be very welcome.
A shared afternoon tea is part of the event, and chatting with others after the presentation may help to generate ideas for your own property. Please bring something to share to eat, but tea & coffee will be provided.
Also please bring a chair to sit on if you are staying for afternoon tea.
RSVP by Friday 17th January to Shonagh on (06) 752 0889 or at taranakilandgirls@gmail.com
Hope to see you there!
