Veges and flower gardens can coexisit happily.

You don’t have to sacrifice aesthetics in your edible garden!

SGA’s August Masterclass, ‘Good-looking Plants to Tickle Your Tastebuds’, invites you to think differently about how and where you grow food plants. You’ll learn how to break down the traditional separation of veggie garden and ornamental garden and discover the many multi-functional plants that are both nutritious and uniquely ornamental.

In this Masterclass, ecologically-minded landscape designer and horticulturist Gabrielle Stannus of Building and Landscape Design Lutrawita / Tasmania will share practical and inspiring ways home gardeners can weave productive plants into ornamental gardens, creating spaces that look good, taste good, and support healthier, more sustainable living.

Gabrielle is a member of SGA’s Green Gardening Professionals program with more than a decade of experience in sustainability education, community environmental programs, garden design, and horticultural communication.

Prolific growth period for above ground planting is on again.
This is a good chance to thin out seedlings like these scattered lettuce, and the excess plants can also be transplanted.
Liquid fertilising at this time will reduce transplant shock and also maximise plant growth.
