"We always planned to create a thriving vegetable garden but our patch always had more weeds than vegetables, so it was great to have Tash bring in the boxes, the beautiful soil and the seedlings and create a perfect, weed-free vegie patch in a day. All we have to do is watch our new seedlings grow and plan our future meals."

"I loved the idea of getting my 3 boys (6, 4 and 3) in
the garden to get their hands dirty but hadn't ventured passed a small herb
arrangement and a couple of failed tomato projects. I had heard about a project
The Sage Garden had been involved in a friend's school and organised for a
visit from Natasha. She had brilliant ideas of how to use the space we had
available, inspired and involved the kids in the planning phase of the project
and then arranged all the supplies and construction, again involving the kids
at all the important stages (the planting's almost as fun as the harvest!). In the 18 months we've had our planter boxes,
the kids have planted, tendered to and harvested tomatoes,
cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, beetroot, carrot, zucchini, corn,
potato, shallots, snow peas as well as a wide range of herbs. With
Natasha's help, we have gone from failed herb gardeners to
garden adventurers"

A very big thank you to you and Snoop! Harry and I had a great day, I learnt a lot and feel more confident with the garden. I really enjoyed the day and was exhausted at the end- not too sure why as you and Snoop did most of the work!! Harry was still bouncing around all night! I really love the end result and don't worry I'm taking care of your baby! I love to go out either morning or night and water and just be there!

Natasha is one of those inspirational teachers that inspires and engages her students
because she makes the learning relevant to them. She listens to her
students (the kids) and guides them to find the knowledge they seek by
getting their hands dirty. The proof of her knowledge and experience in
both horticulture and teaching is clearly evident when you look at one of her
beautifully crafted gardens or at the confident and passionate faces of the
children she has taught.

Natasha visited our kinder to introduce the children to the
pleasures of gardening. Because she is trained as a primary teacher, she is a
natural with the children. They loved her friendly and engaging manner, and
responded with enthusiasm and interest. Her visit was very hands on and
interactive, with the children encouraged to participate and ‘get their hands
dirty’. Natasha brought some wonderful props with her which held the children’s
interest and prompted follow up learning. We loved having Natasha visit our
kinder and look forward to her return.
