This is a hands-on workshop where the group will learn the theory behind the wicking method, as well as participate in creating smaller wicking beds, all of which can be replicated in the home garden.
Details
Held at our Learning Centre in Melbourne, participants will enjoy this engaging, group-based session focusing on water-wise wicking beds. John Lanarus brings his extensive horticulture knowledge to the workshop to teach these simple and easily achievable garden techniques, perfect for home and schools.

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.
