Founder of Libertas Food Gardens and head garden and permaculture designer, Lucas believes all of the world’s problems can be solved in a garden. He has developed his professional expertise across four continents and brings together a fresh new outlook on sustainable urban living.

Please bring a layout of your garden/house that includes your established trees and plants – a question and answer session will follow the workshop. 

What really keeps Libertas Gardens going is their dream to green up the suburbs. They believe it is possible to create a nicer, healthier and an ecologically sound urban environment for us to live in and our children to grow up in.

Many would have you think that the edible garden should only grow food in a corner of your property, out of sight. At Libertas Food Gardens they believe otherwise. They see potential to grow your next meal everywhere you look, and they know how to make it happen.

Additional Details

Please wear covered shoes suitable for working in the garden, and bring appropriate outdoor gear such as garden gloves, 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 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
