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

Tea / coffee / filtered water supplied

H&S 

  • Please wear sturdy shoes / boots
  • Hat and Gloves
  • Bring a raincoat
  • Drink bottle, snacks
