A site for people within the Blue Mountains Bioregion* who want to begin, revive or expand a vegetable garden or orchard in their home or community; exchange their surplus with other local small-scale growers; and/or buy locally grown fresh food and minimally processed food.
* The bioregion is defined as an area within a 50 km radius from Katoomba that takes in Lithgow, Richmond and the Megalong Valley (see attached map)
After raising a family and retiring from teaching, I gained a Master of Applied Science Degree in Social Ecology, found my retirement cottage in Katoomba, and set about achieving a sustainable single lifestyle that incorporated tending my evolving food-garden, helping to set up local school and community gardens and keeping up with the huge global range of sustainability activities and projects via the Internet.
