Whether it's rain, heat waves or wild wind you're up against, weather can make for challenging learning conditions in the garden. Join Kate Beckwith from the Foundation, as she shares ideas and activities to build a robust and resilient kitchen garden program, whatever nature throws at us!

Hear top tips from gardening educators across the country, who have years of experience delivering meaningful garden activities in extreme weather. There will be time to ask questions at the end of the session.

This online workshop is suitable for all garden educators who would like to develop a bank of garden activities to draw from for wild weather days.

During this one-hour online workshop, we will cover: 

• considerations for your unique microclimate
• planning and preparing for common adverse weather conditions
• a variety of garden-related activities that can be completed indoors
