Susanne Rix founded the Edible Garden Trail in 2017. It featured over 40 gardens and attracted 500+ visitors from all over NSW. It has grown from the early beginnings to include 10 schools and 4 community gardens in the 2020 trail in the Blue Mountains as well as almost 50 private gardens throughout the mountains. In addition, the trail has begun to spread around NSW and beyond, with an expansive Sydney trail as well as South Coast and Victoria trails happening in 2020.
