Growing Community

Welcome to the Yates Growing Community

This community page is a place for gardeners to come together to share their, problems and find solutions, celebrate their successes with gardeners who understand and be inspire each other to grow great gardens. 

The growing community is for all gardeners of all levels of experience from those just starting out to those with years of experience and with all garden sizes from a salad in a pot to a sprawling lifestyle block and everything in between.  

The recent Vegie Growing Challenge 2021 has come to an end, and we had a fabulous group of gardeners sharing all their gardening ups and downs and you can check out all their posts below.

The growing community is now open to post any garden updates from a photo of a beautiful flower you just had to share, an in-depth blog post of a garden project you created or a place to put regular garden updates to avoid overwhelming your friends on social media.  Or just browse and make friendly and encouraging comments on the posts already here. 

From time to time there will be more competitions, Check the ‘What’s going on’ box to keep an eye out for the next one. 

To join the Yates Growing Community just click HERE, and then the "Join / Sign in" green button and you will be able to begin sharing straight away.

What’s Going On

The Spring Vegie Growing Challenge has come to an end. The winners have been announced on the ‘What’s Going On’ page or go to Sarah the Gardener's blog post for the full announcement. The Yates Growing Community is open to all gardeners of all levels with gardens of all sizes. We look forward to your continued updates from your gardens in the days and weeks to come and across the rest of the growing season. HOWEVER - we have hit a glitch in the system and unfortunately won't be able to accept your updates until the Team return to the office on the 11th of Jan and get things working again. In the meantime enjoy your gardens and we look forward to your updates very soon. Team at Yates would love to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year.
