OUR WEEKEND WORKSHOPS ON 16 AND 17 OCTOBER ARE NOW FULL, BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO ON A WAIT LIST, PLEASE EMAIL US AT info@organicediblegarden.co.nz
Join us this Spring to find out how to create an organic summer food garden.
We were planning a series of 90-minute workshops to start on Saturday, 11 September and run for 6 weeks. But as we’ve been and continue to be in a COVID Lockdown we feel all we can offer is it compressed into one weekend. We reckon we’ll be in Alert Level 2 by Saturday and Sunday, 16 and 17 October, so these are the new dates.
We’ll start at 9am at Jan’s garden in Henderson and finish at 3pm. We’ve added an extra $5 a day for a light lunch to be included which takes the cost of the weekend to $130 per person.
The days will look like this:
9-10.30am
WORKSHOP 1: Seed sowing, pricking out or transplanting, growing media, seed saving
10.30-11am
Morning tea
11am-12.30pm
