To support National Gardening Week, Yates will be handing out free packets of vegetable seeds to everyone who registers to participate on any day between 1st and 18th October. The week itself is happening on 19-26th October.
Despite late October still being ages away, the lead-up fun kicks off as early as 7th September with the Vegie Growing Challenge. Open for all gardening skill levels, this competition offers great prizes and an opportunity to find new friends who share your interest in gardening within the Yates Growing Community.
The Yates Growing Community will also receive its own online blog for gardeners to come together and share their successes, problems and aspirations while having fun.
There are so many reasons to grow your own food – it tastes better, it’s cheaper, it minimises your environmental impact and reduces waste, it reduces stress and improves mental health. Embrace the goodness of gardening and start living a greener life!
