Celebrating our natural surroundings

Place-led design promotes a strong connection between residents and surrounding natural landscapes. Jacka residents will enjoy at least 30% tree canopy and 70% open space, while designs ensure indigenous native trees, bushes and plants will be used to create a seamless relationship with the surrounding hills and bushland.

Connected communities

Most homes in Jacka will be centrally located, close to the future local centre. Interconnected pathways and trails will encourage healthy living and close community ties. Meanwhile, our dedicated Mingle team will be on the ground building up community programs to create long-lasting connections.

Growing Food Through the Seasons Workshop Series – Back for 2025

14 Feb, 11:06 AM
Join us at our ‘Growing Food Through the Seasons’ workshop series to help you grow a bountiful food garden all year long.

Have you always wanted to learn how to grow delicious food in your own backyard? Join us at our ‘Growing Food Through the Seasons’ workshop series to help you grow a bountiful food garden all year long.

Building on the success of our 2024 series, the workshops are back in 2025. The updated program will cover similar topics to 2024, with several new, advanced courses available so people can join us again to build on their knowledge

Growing Food Through the Seasons is a unique offering in Canberra – aiming to give year-long learning opportunities to ensure you always plan early and plant on time to have something delicious growing in your garden.

Hosted by Fiona Buining from the Ainslie Urban Farm, Growing Food Through the Seasons workshops cover a range of gardening basics including different planting techniques, composting, soil health and more. The series will focus on getting the best from Canberra’s unique growing climate, teaching participants when and what to plant for a bountiful supply of backyard produce year-round.

Fiona is a passionate advocate for local food growing and was awarded a 2020 Churchill Fellowship to investigate urban farm ventures that provide vocational pathways for aspiring food growers. She is an experienced educator committed to enabling more people to grow their own food and promoting the personal, community and environmental benefits of locally grown food.

Workshops will be advertised on the SLA website and Eventbrite each month, where you can purchase your tickets.

For further information about the workshops and to register your interest in the full program or the advanced courses, contact the SLA Sustainability Team on [email protected].
