Celebrate our first Edible Garden Adventure and join us for a day of inspiration, exploration and conversation, as we board the ‘Costa-Coach’ and explore seven different edible gardens within the City of Kalamunda and surrounds with our special tour host, Costa Georgiadis!

Brought to you by Kalamunda Garden Festival.

Edible Garden Adventure is about celebrating home growers and their gardens, providing a platform for learning, where you can be empowered and experience practical and achievable ways to grow food at home.

We will explore productive gardens and see how different gardeners are growing their own food. You’ll be able to speak with the gardeners themselves, learn from their experiences, and score heaps of tips you can take home for your own garden.

Some of the gardens haven’t been open to the public before, so this is a real treat.

Tickets will go on sale at 6pm tomorrow via this link: https://tinyurl.com/EdibleGardenAdventure

As efforts to manage the shothole borer continue, Sabrina Hahn has advised all gardeners to avoid wood mulch.

"I think any movement of wood around the state is going to be dangerous until we know exactly where it's popping up," Sabrina told Leonie Harris on ABC Radio Perth Saturday Breakfast.

"We need to think about biosecurity now, particularly for our growers."

Gardeners who have a home mulcher can continue to use their own prunings on their garden beds. For those who buy mulch, Sabrina recommends opting for a heat-treated option.

"They can heat treat it to a very high temperature, then it's going to kill any polyphagous [shot hole borer] and the fusarium [fungus] that the polyphagous borer brings with it."
