Want to know how to have a garden that is healthy and water wise? Learn about plant selection and design strategies to minimise water loss in your garden. Strategies include capturing water on your site and minimising evaporation and will include options such as wicking beds, hugelkutur, swales, increasing the organic matter content of your soil and choosing the right mulch. The principles of wicking garden beds, and how to construct them, will be demonstrated in an upcycled polystyrene box.

In this workshop, learn how to make reusable natural wraps. Beeswax wraps are eco-friendly and very practical! Whether you want to wrap your fruit & vegetables, cheese & a loaf of bread or simply cover a bowl – beeswax wraps are the perfect replacement for plastic wrap and are a wonderful gift.

With our facilitator, you will make 2 medium size wraps to take home and will be given information on sustainably sourcing fabrics and beeswax. The workshop will also demonstrate the making (and give a taster) of a couple of gourmet food products that are simple to put together and which make popular delicious small gifts.

You will also learn how to Love Food, Hate Waste! We will discuss how to make sustainable food choices, to help save the planet and save you time and money. The distances our food travels to us is at an all-time high, and so is our level of food wastage. Find out how to know the difference between products that are organic, natural, ethical and fair trade and how to reduce your food miles and food wastage.

Come along, have fun and create something eco-friendly and practical.

This workshop will be held in Holgate, on the Central Coast, NSW, near Gosford. The session will proceed in wet weather, there is an undercover training area.
