WOMEN ONLY Carpentry for Gardeners - Make a Garden Bed

The Carpentry for Gardeners series is developed for beginners, who have no previous experience with tools or in workshops. It is a confidence building introduction to simple carpentry skills. 

Make a Raised Garden Bed focuses on the specifics of building for outdoor and rough conditions. In this 1-day course, you’ll learn about suitable hardware and techniques for outdoor construction, along with tips and tricks for prolonging the life of the things you build.

You will apply your learning as you construct a raised garden bed using timber.

It covers the fundamentals of tool use and techniques, including:

• Confidence in your ability to use the following tools correctly and safely – hand and power saws, drill drivers and measuring equipment.

• Learning to measure and cut accurately

• Practice simple joinery using drills and screws

• Familiarise yourself with the workshop environment, practices and health and safety

What to Bring – Yourself.  All tools and materials are included in the registration.  Morning Tea (tea, coffee and biscuits) is provided.  You will need to provide your own lunch.

What to Wear – weather appropriate clothes you are happy to get dirty in and sturdy closed-in shoes. We provide safety glasses and ear protection.

In this introductory unit, you’ll make a raised garden bed from timber to take home with you.
