    Event description

    **POSTPONED TO FRIDAY 22 MARCH**

    Join EcoMatters organic teaching garden designer and coordinator, Meg Liptrot, to create a community kai 'terrace' garden.

    Last year we built a beautiful bamboo fence with Bambusero (pictured).

    This Ecofest we'll be assembling an informal terrace on the slope below. Once the terraces are built, the beds will be back-filled and planted with kai for passers by.

    Making use of free/low cost resources, such as logs cut from a fallen tree in our garden (a casualty of cyclone Gabrielle), we will add to the foraging potential of the street, and demonstrate food can be grown almost anywhere! 

    **No experience necessary, our gardens are all about experimentation and trying new things.**

    There are two sessions to choose from:

    Friday 15 March and / or 

    Saturday 16 March from 11-2pm 

    Bookings required - max 15pp per session

    Register to secure your spot and choose a donation amount to help with costs
