Details

Held in our Learning Centre garden in Melbourne, this workshop will be led by Pete Huff, an expert in sustainable gardening practices and past presenter for the Foundation. His 2011 workshops received brilliant reviews from attendees and he joins us again in 2012.

In implementing sustainable gardening techniques, gardeners find ways to contribute to, rather than take away from, the Earth, through methods such as composting, recycling, water conservation, chemical minimisation and increasing good habitat creation. 

Additional Details

Please bring a pair of gardening gloves and wear covered shoes and appropriate outdoor clothing suitable for working in the garden. The workshop will run in all weather.

Enter the College via the main reception area, which is located near the end of Cromwell Street, and follow the signs 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
