Wendy is an experienced gardener, Garden Specialist at Elwood PS and environmental educationalist, and is passionate about the wide world of edible indigenous food plants.  
Bushfood plants are not only beautiful and functional, they are most often incredibly drought-tolerant and adaptive to the local region, and as such provide welcome additions to the home garden.

‘I really enjoyed learning about the background information as well as specific plant details’

‘Was great meeting other people interested in indigenous plants. The practical hands on side was great’

This class will give you all the tips and tricks you need to start your own garden, as well as give you the opportunity to meet with other like-minded people.

Please bring appropriate outdoor gear such as hats or coats. If weather is inclement the workshop will move indoors.

Enter the College via the main reception area, which is located near the end of Cromwell Street, and follow the signs to the kitchen where we will meet before heading out to the garden.

Public transport is often a good way to get to Collingwood College, with Collingwood train station only minutes away. However, on Saturdays there is usually parking available in the immediate vicinity of the College. Other parking options are generally the north and south sides of Hoddle Street, in Gipps Street and in the parking zone at the end of Islington Street.

Please note, the Foundation endeavours to proceed with each Public Workshop as planned, however in the instance of very low numbers of registrants or other unfortunate events we reserve the right to cancel a workshop up to 48 hours before scheduled. In all cases we will do our utmost to inform registrants a week in advance of any cancellation, and a 100% refund will be made
