Big ups to all those intrepid folk who braved the weather and came along to our Autumn festival. The weather didn’t matter, did it? What amazing days we had together – I thank you all for your fine company. Congratulations to Rosemary Neilson and Traci Wheeler for winning the best pickle of the show!

Meet Kath Irvine, Edible Backyard, New Zealand

I'm Kath Irvine. I've been growing all the vegetables to feed my family of 6 for 20 good years. Spray free, natural, low input food gardens are my thing. I believe in smart design - it saves time + money + the planet and makes a garden hum. I recycle + reuse + forage and use as little plastic as poss. I believe in a daily serve of fresh picked organic greens for a happy mind + strong body and it's my dream that every New Zealander have this. So I aim to provide the best organic gardening advice through my articles, writing books, workshops and garden consults.
