Ever bought a great looking gardening book with all good intentions only to have it soon end up just another pretty bookshelf-ornament? What you are missing is Level Zero – vegetable gardening for absolute beginners.

Discover Level Zero

WE GROW & MAKE FOOD – not everything, just the achievable stuff that saves money, tastes great, avoids waste, and works well in our climate. Grab a cuppa, perch on the corner of a garden bed, and let’s chat.
