Gardening on a Budget Workshop

Gardening on a Budget Workshop

Partnering with Dianna from Simply Optimistic, Communities at Work are excited to deliver a Workshop where you will learn how to garden and grow your own food 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. 
• Learn about Permaculture Principles and Ethics.

Participants are advised to:

• Bring your own gardening gloves if you have them (however, garden gloves and trowels will be available on the day).
  
• Wear a long sleeve shirt and covered shoes. 
• Ensure you are sun safe - wear sunscreen and bring a hat as we will be outside for the potting/planting part of the Workshop.

This FREE workshop is offered to the community as part of the Growing Healthy Communities Project funded under the ACT Health, Healthy Canberra Grants program.
