A hands on hot compost build for students of the Blue Borage online course 'Hot Compost'
Come and spend the day at Sharda. We'll start the hot compost build at 10am, finish around midday, and then have a picnic lunch, after which and you can wander freely and explore the bush walk, the forest, the stream and the Food Forest.

Tuakau school groups bring children here each week and for many it's a highlight of the week.

If we've only met on Zoom calls, then this is a great chance to meet in person and get our hands in the soil together.

I'd love to show you this special Food Forest - if you'd like to bring herbs, flowers, berries or a tree to contribute, then the Sharda Centre would be so very grateful.

Any questions? Please email me at katrina@blueborage.co.nz

If you haven't yet done the Blue Borage Hot Compost online course, then please select the higher ticket price and I'll send you a coupon to access the course. (This might take a couple of days as it's not an automated process)

How the Sharda workshops run:

You are welcome to book a room at the Sharda Centre on the Thursday evening and create your own mini retreat: bring a yummy dinner, breakfast and lunch, some artwork, a favourite book, good sturdy shoes for walking through the bush... you know best what makes a night away a special time for you.

I recommend an early morning wander around the gardens, and please know that you're welcome to explore the composting systems that are up and running already.

I'll arrive in the morning, around 9:30 and then we'll get stuck into the workshop.

What to bring:

- Gumboots, or sturdy shoes suited to gardening on uneven slopes with blackberry and other invasive weeds.

- Wear suitable clothes for gardening. We will go ahead in light rain.

- Gardening gloves.

- Sunhat, water bottle, and please remember to put on some sunscreen in the morning.

- If you are staying overnight, then please contact the office to make your booking and pay Sharda for this separately to the gardening workshop: shardacentrenz@gmail.com. Note there are two prices for overnight stays - it's your choice whether you want to bring your own bedding or not. https://shardacentre.com/
