Welcome to Harmony Farm eco-event 17 July

Welcome to 'our place' Eco-Event!

We're in the middle of pruning 1,500 trees, settling into our new home, discovering our gardens, making compost, learning about living on the land and much much more. So, no better time than now to have a tour of our 14 acre certified organic property as we share our discoveries with you.

We've invited a special guest, Kath Irvine (the 'edible backyard' guru www.ediblebackyard.co.nz), to consult on our vegie and herb gardens. As novice gardeners ourselves, we thought best to ask the expert.
