Eat Your Balcony 2
Here's your chance to get totally practical about growing food in small spaces, and experience some yummy tastings as well! Eat Your Balcony 2 offers a full day, flexible program combining organic and edible gardening demonstrations and healthy food experiences. Come for the whole day, or choose a morning or afternoon session.
Program includes demonstrations on worm farming, organic pest & disease control, wicking container gardening & potting mix blending, as well as food-focussed presentations including growing your own sprouts, mushroom growing and making 'green smoothies' using fresh greens and edible weeds! (the latter brought to you by Very Edible Gardens).
As an added bonus, there's an opportunity to explore our fabulous Fossilisin' Foods' community cooking program; tasting dips and preserves made from neighbourhood surplus (please bring along any surplus fruit or veg you have available, for use in subsequent cooking and preserving sessions).
Between breaks you can also browse our Ecoshop and balcony garden design and growing displays, pick up some tips from the folks at Green Renters and enjoy a BBQ lunch and afternoon tea. Entry, lunch and afternoon tea by donation - sliding scale costs apply.
RSVP's absolutely essential. Please contact Paula at: gardeners@ecocentre.com / 9525 3102 (Mondays) / 0417 501 383 (anytime). Please note that places are limited for some presentations owing to venue capacity, so the earlier you RSVP and nominate the presentations you'd prefer to attend, the better!
