Reviews for the workshops:

It was a great day, thanks for sharing your knowledge Cathie (and your yummy food)! - Melissa

Thankyou for how interesting and accessible you made everything today - Abby

Many thanks Cathie, it was a fantastic day. We learnt so much & are super grateful for your amazing generosity & for sharing your wonderful knowledge & beautiful space with us  - April & James

Absolute game changer ! Thank you soooooo much Cathy - really loved it and have many ideas to ponder and implement !! Thank you .... huge ripple effect with us all today I'm sure with our home gardens and patches - Gem

I had the best time Cathy, thankyou. Been in the patch since I got home and about to have another mint tea - Bronwyn

Had a brilliant educational experience at Cathie's 3 Veg Farm, on the  weekend, learning about permaculture and compost and good soil and growing organic veg!  I would highly recommend these workshops - half day or full day. Basically everything we ever thought about digging, weeding and clearing the ground is wrong wrong wrong. I'm inspired to get stuck into my no dig, organic, permaculture garden journey!  - Christina
