Dust to Dahlias - bus trip to Poodra Springs
Event description
Join WoTL on a trip to Poodra Springs Native Flowers where owner Jasmin Piggot will take you through the story of how her blooming enterprise was established despite years of heartbreaking drought. On this trip we will collaborate on:
- Understanding land management issues on local properties and how resource management can bring new successes.
- Exploring ways to diversify and make business more sustainable in testing times.
- Exploring the Poodra Springs enterprise diversification, from understanding soil types, water requirements, and the opportunities they present.
- How this venture has led to even greater community leadership.
Further exploring risk management and making your own opportunities, there is also a visit to the T-Ports, connecting women to part of their grain marketing strategy options.
The day includes morning and afternoon tea, lunch, travel and tours.
The full cost of this workshop is $300 which has been heavily reduced thanks to the support of event sponsors.
This event is supported by the Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program.
