When visiting Maitland Taste be sure to head to the Garden Stage to watch a range of Demonstrations taking place over the weekend.
The Garden Stage Demonstrations will give you the opportunity to learn from the best how to make your backyard more self-sufficient and explore the many practical ways you can get your backyard thriving with food, herbs, and flowers using organic and permaculture techniques and more!
