Growing Veggies from Seed

  • Canberra Environment Centre Lawson Crescent Acton, ACT, 2601 (map)

Raising vegetables and herbs from seed is fun and affordable, and there tends to be a bigger range of varieties and cultivars available as seed, including heirloom and locally saved seeds.

Join the Canberra Seed Savers for an introductory, hands-on workshop where you’ll leave feeling more confident about growing veggies, herbs and other plants from seed at home. Learn about:

  • When to grow different veggies and herbs in the Canberra region;

  • Selecting the right seeds for your garden

  • Preparing a seed raising mix

  • Sowing different types of seeds correctly

  • How to nurture, protect and care for young seedlings.
