About this event

What to expect

Join us as we look at garden bed choices, soil preparation, planning and selecting seedlings for kids/families, organic pest control and caring for plants.

We will look at fun, safe ways to involve young people in the garden and keep the enthusiasm going. The workshop is FREE for residents and educators and anyone in Ku-ring-gai looking to create a thriving edible garden.

Thank you to St Ives Pre-school Kindergarten for hosting this event in their edible gardening space.

This is a face-to-face workshop for adults only.

What to bring

Comfortable clothes, gardening gloves if you have them and covered shoes, hat and sunscreen.

How does this impact Net Zero?

By teaching young people and families how to grow an edible garden, we are encouraging a sustainable, waste free lifestyle for their futures, which will help to reduce our overall waste emissions as a community. Visit Net Zero Ku-ring-gai for more sustainable living tips and case studies.
