Nick Gnafakis, chef & gardener created Niko’s Garden as a local start-up business during the first lockdown, which was so successful that Nick now sells and distributes his unique range of Greek and Mediterranean mountain herbs, medicinal teas and heirloom vegetables to customers across Melbourne and Australia.
Nick enjoys sharing his vegetables, mountain herbs and teas with other passionate gardeners. He says that it “makes him happy to see other people enjoying them because he knows how beautiful they are.” Nick will talk to us about how he started his business, where he sourced his herbs, and how best we can grow and use them.
See more on him and his herbs on www.nikosgarden.com.au
PLUS: There will also be a selection of Niko’s Garden plants available for sale after his talk, including some rare Greek medicinal herbs.
