Was in the neighbourhood and decided to pop past the ol' Waggie site. Was delighted to see that regardless of the slab covering almost every square metre of the block, some of our Asparagus continues to persist! 😂🤣

Come & learn hands on how to care for fruit trees with our summer pruning working bee with Steven Hoepfner.
Steven will talk us through how, why, what & when to prune & then you'll practice your skills on the fruit trees here in the garden! 🍎🍊🍋🍒
Long time Mentor and all time greatest good gardener ever, Di Bickford has asked me to sit in on her beautiful project at Cherington Gardens this Wednesday. Come along and see what's cracking there.

We’re Adelaide's only microscale market veggie garden
Wagtail Urban Farm is a microscale market garden within the suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. We're located on half a house block at Mitchell Park, less than 10kms from Adelaide's city centre.
The place is run by me – Steven Hoepfner – plus a small core team of workers and a dynamic group of volunteers.
We focus on hands-on education and delivering the freshest and most nutrient-dense veggies to our local community.
We sell our fresh produce via local Adelaide markets – and often here on Facebook too. You might also like to check out our YouTube channel.
I started growing stuff in 2010 when I accidentally spilt some birdseed on my lawn in a rental unit on the Gold Coast and corn seeds sprouted from the mishap.
Two decades on, I still get a kick out of every seed that germinates. There's a pure joy in witnessing that transformation and then knowing the food is nourishing people's bodies and lives.
I heard someone say once: "Be who you needed when you were younger."
This is the dream for Wagtail. To be there, gates open, for anyone that needs help growing their own food.
Cheers, Steven
