TESTIMONIALS
Here’s what participants have said about the Virtual (thanks COVID!) and Physical Sydney Edible Garden Trails…
"FABULOUS experience to be able to see these people and their gardens online today - so one of the good aspects of modern tech media!"

"Thank you to all involved. I have learnt so much and have started using what I have learnt in my own garden. It feels so much more achievable when the gardens shown are local Sydney gardens grown by everyday people. Thank you to all the volunteers for your enthusiasm and commitment. It has helped by self isolation be a more rewarding experience."

"Well done! I love that I can now share in your event from the edge of the Ottways, near Colac in western Victoria. Am now trying to decide where to put a couple of wicking beds."

"Thank you to the amazing people behind this awesome virtual edible garden tour! I live in Mudgee and the trip to Sydney in these uncertain times seemed not a good idea. But thanks to you amazing folks I get to sit in my garden and enjoy and learn more than I ever imagined. That list of garden projects has gotten a lot longer today."

"I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone involved in putting this together. This year was going to be my first garden trail and it's something I've really been looking forward too. As someone starting from scratch in their first garden, the videos have been awesome and I've gained so much inspiration already!"

"This has been such an amazing & timely trail. Slowly working my way through in between everything. I’ve learnt so much from my local community, can’t wait to put more into practice and extend our small patch. You are all inspirational & so grateful for the mammoth effort that had been put into this. One of my ‘escape’ places during all this. Stay safe!"
