Increase your food growing skills and knowledge The Edible Garden Trail offers a once-a-year unique opportunity to prowl about the yards of passionate gardeners. And, at a time when fresh food is more expensive than ever, it's a great way to combine a fun day outdoors and an educational experience that will reap ongoing rewards. While edible gardens have been popping up all over the place (in fact, the Blue Mountains trail inspired Sydney's) the Blue Mountains version is a helpful showcase of how to grow food in a cooler climate. At the , you can:

See examples of food growing, composting and more Learn how to grow foodVisit gardens of all sizes - both small and largeGet ideas for your own garden Learn how to be more self-reliant, sustainable and food secureLearn what grows well in cool climatesGet some opportunities to ask questionsGet a few opportunities to purchase products such as seedlings, plants or foods
