FAQ — The Little Garden Farm
What is The Little Garden Farm on Bruny Island?
The Little Garden Farm is a small working garden and evolving orchard on South Bruny Island, Tasmania. The farm is gradually being restored to grow food, improve soil health and share ideas about resilient gardening and simple living.

Guests staying at the farm or the waterfront stay are welcome to explore the garden during their visit. At certain times we also offer small garden walks and practical workshops that share ideas about soil, food growing and ecological gardening.
What happens during a garden walk or workshop?
Garden walks and workshops are relaxed, small gatherings where visitors can explore the garden and discuss topics such as soil ecology, worm farms, resilient garden design and growing vegetables for flavour.
Each session is slightly different depending on the season and what is happening in the garden at the time.
What makes The Little Garden Farm garden different?
The garden is designed around low-input principles that focus on building soil health, encouraging biodiversity and growing food that tastes good rather than simply producing large yields.
The farm is also shaped by many years of experience in landscape restoration, re-vegetation, naturopathy and herbalism, broadacre farming and grazing and ecological design.
