Saturday, 24th Feb 2024: 9:30am – 12:30am at Gumnut Cottage
Partnering with the Canberra Environment Centre and Simply Optimistic, Communities at Work are excited to deliver a workshop on gardening on a budget.
This workshop provides an overview of the basic science and skills needed to get your “food factory” growing on a next-to-nothing budget.
After the Workshop you will be able to:
• Identify key features of a plant’s biology and life cycle.
• Perform key gardening skills, including seed raising, cuttings, transplanting seedlings, liquid fertiliser, preparing soil, and garden layout/design.
• Work collaboratively to sketch a home food garden and draft a 6-month task schedule.
Participants are advised to:
• Bring your own gardening gloves (however, gloves and garden trowels will be available for use on the day).
• Wear a long sleeve shirt and covered shoes.
This free workshop is offered as part of the Growing Healthy Communities Project funded under the ACT Health, Healthy Canberra Grants program.
