Bookings essential with Lyttleton Stores
$101.20
Ten person capacity
Sunday 27th March, 9am - 1pm
Growing your own delicious veggies in your kitchen garden can be incredibly rewarding. Together we will learn how to use permaculture ideas and practices to design your kitchen garden for a successful and bountiful harvest that is in harmony with ecological biodiversity.
What to expect:
Through interactive and hands-on activities, we will learn what permaculture is, the ethics and principles that are central to permaculture, and how to use permaculture ideas and practices when deciding where to place your kitchen garden and how to design it to increase success. We will finish off the workshop with a mini “permablitz”; a hands-on experience of creating a no-dig garden bed that will offer the skills needed to grow food anywhere!
What’s included:
All tuition and materials are included. Tea, coffee and a light morning tea are included. Please bring protection from the weather as we will be spending some time outside, and anything you need for taking notes.
