This fundraising event shows the HCP at its best and is an essential fundraiser to maintain the ongoing work in the gardens. It also furthers the HCP's valuable contribution to the Victoria community. Come and have some fun! It's free for HCP members! Bring a friend and you will be investing in the future of the HCP.

Rhona has a Permaculture Design Certificate, a Master's degree in Food Culture & Communication and is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist.
Over thousands of years of agriculture, we have sought to make our food crops more delicious and productive to grow, but our knowledge of agriculture has outstripped our awareness of food's nutritional content and medicinal values.
Nowadays, as chronic food-related ailments increase in tandem with consumption of highly processed, artificially flavoured and nutritionally bankrupt foods, it's time to step back and salvage something from our fruits and vegetables. This class will be of interest to both home gardeners and to non-gardening consumers.
