It was lovely to see many of us madly taking notes as Dario and Michele led us around their magnificent urban food forest. But don't worry, if you missed anything or want more information you can chat with the Franzinelli's again via their Facebook page: Just search for 'Jetto's Patch'.
It's hard to say what the highlights of the day were as everyone seemed to come away with something valuable, whether it was names of new species they might grow, ideas for how to grow things, or information on how to eat the plants.
I know there'll be a whole group of people returning home with new plans for their gardens this weekend!
Our sincere thanks go to Dario and Michele for their hospitality and generosity, as always.

All sorts of plants grow here, temperate to tropical species.
So many questions, so little time!

Pooh Corner, right next to Parliament house. Makes sense really!

Harvest for us to try. Clockwise from top: Lilly Pilly, Feijoa, Midgim berries.
These got a bit of interest so a close-up was in order. Midgim berries. Yum!
The newly inspired HLPG!
