WHAT’S ON

Discover the joys of growing and eating succulent heirloom fruit and vegies at the Heirloom Weekend at Adelaide Botanic Garden (8–9 April, 10am–3pm). A partnership with The Diggers Club, it includes workshops on growing and preserving heirloom vegetables and info on keeping chickens and bees. There are also kid’s activities and live music.
