New to Christchurch? Just moved into your first home? Not sure what to do with your outdoor space? Cultivate will help you get started. 

Award-winning landscape designer Dan Rutherford joins Richard Till for a relaxed, hands-on workshop on growing herbs, vegetables and other useful plants in compact urban spaces - think balconies, courtyards, raised planters, vertical gardens and small glasshouses.

Together they'll walk you through creating a garden that looks good, grows well, and actually fits the way you live. 

You'll cover:

  • Where to begin when planning a new garden
  • What thrives in Christchurch's climate
  • Making the most of small or awkward spaces
  • Simple ways to grow your own herbs, vegetables and edible plants
  • Practical setups - raised planters, vertical gardens, compact glasshouses
  • How to avoid costly mistakes and spend your money where it counts

    • You'll walk away with some practical take-home resources, plus plenty of inspiration and hands-on tips to help you build a garden you'll love.

    You'll also go in the draw to win a personal garden consultation with Dan Rutherford, worth $300.
