Winter is the perfect time to look at the garden and start preparing for the warmer months. In this introductory workshop we will investigate all the methods by which you can create the ideal growing environment for your fruit and veg plants.
This is Part 1 of the two-part Garden Workshop August Pack – you may book into parts separately, but we highly recommend you book the two together for a full training package, as well as receiving a discount on the total package.
Details
Held at our Learning Centre in Melbourne, participants in this workshop will enjoy both discussion and hands-on learning opportunities led by expert gardener Pete Huff. Creating the ideal growing environment for fruit and vegetables is a key skill that can mean the difference between a garden that thrives or fails. Pete will introduce the group to concepts of soil preparation, fertilising, composting, mulching and general care and maintenance of sustainable garden beds for school or home.
Additional Details
Please bring gloves and sturdy outdoor clothes suitable for the weather on the day.
Enter the College via the main reception area, which is located near the end of Cromwell Street, and follow the signs out to the garden.
Public transport is the best way to get to Collingwood College, with Collingwood train station only minutes away. There is generally no parking in the immediate vicinity of the College, although there may be some on Saturday mornings. Best 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.
