Dee Humphreys is an organic gardener and educator. Her enthusiasm for eating what she grows and using all things ‘green’ for health is infectious. Dee and her husband, Ian, previously ran the ‘Garden of Eatin’, a magical 10 acres of edible gardens on the Sunshine Coast where they taught people through educational Garden Tours. More recently they have created a super productive suburban garden. Dee has a special passion for nutritious herbs and weeds, and exploring their practical uses. A wealth of knowledge!

FYI – Dee Humphreys will also be our Garden Tour Guide on 2 December.

Creating a Sustainable Home for Less

Sustainable home

Sustainable home

Do you have a dream to build your own sustainable home, but think that it’s out of your reach? There are things that you can do, and not do, to keep costs low (e.g., using recycled products & doing without extra rooms & bathrooms). Brett & Amber Grimley opened their home for Sustainable House Day 2016 & 2017. Their house is as much about financial sustainability as it is about environmental sustainability. Brett is a local professional building designer & sustainable house design is his passion (see website or Facebook – Ecolibrium Designs). He will show you tips, tricks & approaches to achieve a sustainable home for less.

Brett has generously donated this workshop to Yandina Community Gardens.

21st October Workshop – Creating a Sustainable Home for Less with Brett Grimley (9.30am) 

Cost: $5 Non-Members, Gold coin for Members, Free to Regular Volunteers
