Parents' and Friends'
Save the Date: Grown-Ups Bus Trip to Dunkeld
Thursday, 28 November - two-course lunch at Parker St Project and tour of the Kitchen Garden.
The Royal Mail Hotel's bountiful 3-acre kitchen garden is set in an idyllic location at the base of Mt Sturgeon, Grampians National Park.
The garden supplies organically grown, seasonal produce for the Royal Mail Hotel's award-winning fine-dining restaurant, Wickens, and the casual a La carte Parker Street Project.
With over 600 varieties of vegetables, fruit, nuts, mushrooms, edible flowers, and herbs in production, there is not much the brilliant chefs cannot produce.
The Royal Mail's holistic and sustainable approach to food production is based principally on ageless gardening techniques. These include utilising mulches and manures from our agricultural enterprises, a six-stage crop rotation system, companion planting, organic pest control, closed composting, and green manuring.
The Parents' and Friends' events committee is excited to invite you for a day out in Dunkeld.
Keep an eye on upcoming newsletters with booking details.
