Heirloom vegetables for the home garden

Graeme George from Earthcare Permaculture, will talk about the advantages of growing tradition heirloom vegatables in the home garden, rather than the hybrid commercial varieties. These are the hardy, tasty varieties that have stood the test of time, that are still around because home gardeners prefer to grow them.  Varieties suitable for our cool temperate climate will be emphasised. There will also be seeds available for purchase.
