For this particular workshop, attendees will be taught how to use recycled timber and compost from the Community Compost Hub to make a no-dig garden.

No-dig gardening is an efficient way to create productive food gardens at home. This technique is popular for reusing materials such as crushed concrete, bricks, pavers, woodchip, and sawdust to make paths and garden edges.

The workshop will also be teaching participants the skills needed to make their own raised garden bed at home using the no-dig gardening technique.

This free event is facilitated by Tim Davies from All You Can Eat Gardens, a landscape design and gardening service that aims to develop an abundant, diverse, and easy to maintain food garden at home.

Workshop attendees are asked to wear a hat, a long sleeve shirt, and closed shoes.

Booking is required for this event. Call the Council on 3403 8888 to reserve a slot.
