Growing Food Gardeners
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.
Practical, good-to-the-earth garden advice
I want to make growing good food a part of everyone's life. To do this, you need simple, honest advice that doesn't cost the earth.
My books are aimed to give you the knowledge and encouragement to see success.
