Edible Garden "Starter Packs"
Growing your own food benefits you and the environment. Reduce you grocery bills, improve your health, and conserve our natural resources while enjoying the fresh, beautiful bounty of your garden.
Now available from the Envrionment Centre and the ANU Food Co-operative, the "Starter Packs" have what you need to begin your own edible garden. Including seed for eight different herbs and vegetables, planting and harvesting guides, important information on soil and water, and even recipes for your fresh produce.

Cost for the starter packs is $12 and can save you hundreds of dollars in groceries!
