Field Days
The diary of future field days along with location maps are listed in every HOGS newsletter. Non members are very welcome to come along to field days as a ‘try before you buy’ sort of experience.
Everyone is encouraged to bring along produce to trade or sell.
We meet for BYO lunch at 12 noon before the field day really starts at 1pm sharp. There is usually a background session followed by a property tour and/or practical activity. At 3pm we stop for afternoon tea and a raffle before winding up.
Full details of the locations are in the newsletter or you can contact our Field Day Coordinator Melissa Simpson by selecting the Field Day Coordinator on our contact form via contact us.
Saturday 11 February — Wendy Abel’s, Eleebana
This is the sort of field day everyone enjoys; a suburban backyard garden that makes the most of limited space very successfully. Wendy has raised garden beds for vegetables and chooks to show us.
Saturday 10 March — Fig Tree Community Garden, Wickham
Permaculture gardens, chooks, bee hives, exotic and bush foods, fruit and vegetables. This will be a really interesting field day because there is lots to see. One of the real drawcards is the wood-fired clay oven. Bring pizza bases and toppings so that we can make our own lunches. Fresh produce from the gardens will also be made available. Yum!! See their website for details, or Google Maps for directions.
