Gardening workshops for beginners
Potting up seeds in trays
Our next Gardening for Beginners Workshop is on Sunday 10th June, 2018
Come down to Hilton Harvest Community Garden and join the friendly gardeners to learn how to start a veggie garden at your home. We will go over all the basics to get you growing your own food with confidence and without breaking your budget!
This is a full day workshop, facilitated by Sarah Nix, Amy Warne and Nate Anderson at a total cost of $40.
We ask that all participants become members of the garden before booking in, which give you access to the garden, hire of tools, participation in the olive press and all the wonderful workshops on offer.
The workshop will be hands on, with plenty of time to practice what you are learning and to ask questions of our three experienced gardeners. Tea, coffee and morning/afternoon tea included (please BYO lunch).
