Who is this for?
This workshop is for anyone who wants to reconnect with real, practical skills and the joy of doing things yourself.
Whether you’ve never grown a thing in your life or already have a few herbs on the balcony — you’ll learn something new, useful, and surprisingly doable.
Perfect for:
🌱 Beginners who want to start growing food at home
🥕 Apartment dwellers, small-space gardeners, backyard weekend warriors
🥒 Curious cooks and food lovers who want to try fermenting or pickling
🌻 Anyone craving a slower, more sustainable way to live
No experience, tools, or garden required — just a willingness to roll up your sleeves and give it a go.
🌿 What You’ll Do
Across this full-day, hands-on workshop, you’ll move through four practical sessions — each designed to give you the confidence and skills to live more sustainably at home.
🌱 Propagation & Plant Care
Learn how to take cuttings, grow new plants, and keep them thriving. You’ll pot up your own plant to take home — grown by you, for you.
🥒 Pickling & Fermentation
Discover the art of preserving the harvest. You’ll make your own jar of crunchy, tangy pickles and learn simple fermentation techniques to keep seasonal produce lasting longer.
🌾 Composting Made Easy
Turn kitchen scraps into garden gold. You’ll learn how to build healthy compost — whether you have a backyard or just a balcony.
🍅 Growing Food in Small Spaces
Explore how to turn even the tiniest patch (or windowsill) into a productive food garden. We’ll cover soil, sun, watering, and what to grow where.
🔥 Plus: Shared BBQ Lunch
Enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch with local produce, great conversation, and the chance to connect with other like-minded people.
What’s included?
A full day of hands on learning
BBQ lunch featuring seasonal produce
3 propagated plants to take home in pots
1 Jar of delicious pickles that you make
A relaxed, small-group learning experience
If this day was broken down into individual workshops you would be paying over $600.
But with Patch to Plate you get it at the amazing value of $220 with lunch included!!
Founder of Patch to Plate Living.
I'm a local Sydney edible landscaper, designer, and food grower with a passion for transforming any space—big or small—into a productive, sustainable garden.
I work closely with clients to bring their unique vision to life, whether it's a sensory play garden for a school, a calming space for aged care, or a vibrant patch for a family home.
What I offer is more than just a garden. I offer the incredible joy of stepping outside and harvesting your own food, the peace of mind that comes with sustainability, and the confidence that you can grow a thriving garden that's perfectly suited to your life.
The day is run by me, Mitch!
