Hiya Folks! I just wanted to let you know that there are only a handful of places left for my upcoming course, ‘Growing Veggies Organically & Sustainably’ for Belgrave Food Garden.
Below is the course description and the link to book if you’d like to join us for my last course in the Hills 🌱🪴🍅
This is the 7th (I think) time I’ve run it and have enjoyed every second, meeting every person and making new connections 🥰
This Permaculture based course will be in Belgrave and will consist of four 3 hour workshops + two additional tours (optional).
Facilitated by Jane Coleman from Earth & Soul Permaculture.
As a Permaculture designer and organic gardener with 6+ years experience, with a Sustainable Living diploma, I’ll be sharing knowledge and resources to help you grow veggies organically and sustainably.
Included in this course will be two tours of local permaculture properties, already growing food organically and sustainably.
It’ll be lots of fun, enjoy sharing stories and knowledge with likeminded people.
