Greetings from The Just Dirt Trust we have been having fun for just over two years now.We are engaged in various projects here in Christchurch and other places in NZ.We are gardening in schools,and with other organisations.We are here to help in any way we can,check us out on Facebook,kindest regards.
A group of local growers have recently launched a website promoting our vegetable seeds. Check out www.sentinelsgroup.co.nz
This event (flyer image below) will greatly interest those of us interested in growing or wild-harvesting food. And those of us interested in improving our health and wellbeing.
From these people I've learned of the great benefits of allowing so-called "weeds" to grow, and consuming these weeds in some particular ways that are tasty and easy. Makes gardening so much easier, and makes your health and wellbeing so much better!
I'm really looking forwards to it - it's on Tuesday evening.

Hi all,i'm after some cuttings from any heirloom table/seedless Grapes if any one has some that i could get a shoot or two from.
There used to be an old couple down at Brooklands that had at least 40 different types of old variety's but i don't know what ever happened to there collection when they got too old ,they used to sell plants from there gate so surely there must be some there plants around Canterbury somewhere
This is another supplier I found on the web for those treasured seeds we also desperately need to get
