Our organic garden workshops near Forster, on the mid north coast of NSW at Pacific Palms are fun, social, hands on and are all about connecting community, permaculture, sharing knowledge & ideas, gardening tips & hints. You can read all the gardening books in the world but sometimes it doesn’t make sense until you go outside and get your hands dirty! And besides it’s much more fun to garden with other like minded people who share the same passion for growing chemical free produce. We are located on the mid north coast of NSW at Pacific Palms, just 3 hours north of Sydney.
