First time veggie grower

You choose the Gourmet Garden Plan(s) with produce you’ll love to eat and the one-off price gives you all the know-how you need to get started and nurture your crops for the most abundant and tastiest harvest possible. It’s encouragement, knowledge, advice and education rolled into one.

Step 1 – Pick

We come and check out your growing space and make sure it is suitable for the Gourmet Garden Plan(s) you’d like. If necessary, we can suggest alternative varieties and plants or adjust the plan for your preferences. We’ll explore your preferred growing style – organic, biodynamic, permaculture or any other method you’d like. We will also discuss whether you want to do the digging and planting or whether you also want our ‘Everything done for me’ package. This first consultation is absolutely free.

Step 2 – Support

We give you a detailed plot plan and advice based on factors including your soil’s nutrient analysis, your growing space and our discussions in the first consultation. You will then be confident with what goes where, what soil treatments are needed, what seedlings to plant and what to do to care for them, including how much water each plant needs. If you are doing the gardening yourself, you’re ready to get started. If we’re doing the work, we’ll be back very soon to make it happen.

Step 3 – Protect

Following our instructions, you continue with the basic care your plants require and we come back every fortnight to monitor growth, test the soil, inspect for any pests and disease, and advise on any additional action you need to take. We’ll also give you a report on what we found and where, as well as detailed recommendations to ensure your precious crops are protected for the next fortnight.

Step 4 – Harvest

Pick your abundant garden produce to create delicious meals and share with your friends and family. Chances are you’ll want to start planting your next season of delights!

The 3, 6 and 12 visit plans also include soil tests and additional reporting.

Our packages can cost as little as $60 per fortnight for our scientific advice and support to ensure year-round abundance from your garden.

3-visit plan

The 3-visit plan is spread over 6 weeks and is perfect for any size patch. Within 6 weeks you can have abundant, fresh loose leaf lettuces, zucchini, spinach, radish, kale and herbs.

The 12-visit plan nurtures 6 months of amazing produce. Not only can you grow multiple fruiting vegetable crops and several leafy vegetable crops, you can expand to longer-term crops such as garlic, onion, cauliflower, pumpkins and parsnips.
