Gardening

My role at my work consists of running a gardening program, with children aged 3 and 4 years of age.
I  know a little about gardening, as I have always had a veggie patch going, just not on such a large scale. My love for nature was born, on my travels around Australia.I always thought of myself as a naturalist, even as a young child, helping my parents in their patch,growing huge tomatoes. But actually working the land, when I was working as a picker, definitely fuelled my desire for knowledge on the natural world.It also pushed me to brink of my sanity,both mentally and physically, and only when you have worked as picker,you would understand what I mean.
Anyway, back to my current garden.We have 10 raised beds.There is also a ancient fig tree in the other part of the garden.My challenge is to try and get

things growing in and around the fig tree. Another challenge I have, is a embankment between two peppercorn trees.There had been a few natives planted there,but they are not thriving.I can post some pictures.

At some stage, I would like to incorporate a bush foods garden, now that I am excited about.
So if you are a gardening/landscaping guru, or anyone with gardening tips, I would love to hear from you, or just tell me about your garden.
