My winter gardening activities
Skies are bleak, leaves are gone …
By Victoria Schollick
Winter has arrived with foggy, frosty mornings followed by cold, raining and overcast days. It’s hard to get enthusiastic about gardening when your fingers are feeling half-frozen and your nose starts dripping. And it’s very tempting to stay indoors rather than step outside and tackle some “must do” garden tasks. Continue reading

Join the Local Harvest Challenge
Local Harvest Challenge week runs 3-9 April.
Get connected with your food!
Join us and the many individuals, households and community groups around Australia who are taking up the Local Harvest Challenge.

How? By setting yourself challenges to find out about local food options and give them a whirl! Find local food resources near you, and put into practice the art of eating locally, supporting local and organic farmers and businesses, and discovering the face behind your food. Continue reading
I’m taking the Local Harvest Challenge, will you?
Garden produce, yes. But we’ve also got so many other great local harvest options.
By Karen Retra
As discussed at our gathering, I’m going to take the Local Harvest Challenge. It’s a national initiative encouraging people to make mindful food choices for a week (localharvest.org.au).
I’m not usually into food challenges, nor am I doing it because I’ve got all the answers, but because it’s a great excuse to re-examine where my food comes from. And whether my purchasing decisions are supporting the sort of food system I want, that meets my needs but also my values. It’s also a chance to celebrate the local food I’m already accessing as well as dedicate some time to find out about and try new options – which can sometimes get lost in the busyness of life.
Sharing the challenge publicly is a bit confronting for me, but I hope it will help to further the conversations about local food – and maybe mean we can all share some local resources and tips. Continue reading
