Backyard Self-Sufficiency Workshop
(in my backyard!)
Saturday 12 September 2015 - 1.30-3.30pm
I’m running a 'Backyard Self-Sufficiency Workshop' in my own backyard in St Marys - as it seems the best environment for the topic |
| |  |
It's spring and my backyard looks wonderfully inviting. I’ve just started planting out my spring vegetables to establish my vegie garden, my sweet peas are in full bloom, I have compost on the go, vegetables in containers, herbs, plus the workshop includes a section on ‘potting’ from cuttings and plants germinating in my backyard (my garden has a multitude of self-germinated plants - lettuce, spinach & rocket, flowers - so there is a huge range to choose from). It’s a beautiful environment - I’ve spent years working on so it would be lovely to share it with people interested in knowing more about getting started in successful backyard gardening.
An old-fashioned country-style afternoon tea will also be provided (scones, jam, cream, homemade cake, sandwiches and more!). I have a limited number of chairs so please be quick if you would like to come along. Cost: $30 or $25 conc. More details below.
Bookings are pre-paid via 'Try-booking' go to: Backyard Self-Sufficiency Workshop-1 or Backyard Self-Sufficiency Workshop-2 Address details will be available when you book - please bring your booking receipt to the workshop.
If you have difficulty booking or have any queries email me (via return email) or pam@theshoppe.com.au
(PS: I've got lots of baby lettuce seedlings just waiting for a new home - so don't forget to bring container or bag to put them in!).
