Free Sustainable Gardening Workshops, November 2011, March 2012

Free Sustainable Gardening Workshops

Kick start your garden this spring by coming along to a free workshop on sustainable gardening. Frankston City Council is joining forces with Sustainable Gardening Australia and South East Water to teach people how to improve their gardens, keep away pests, reduce waste, save water and more. From beginners to experienced green thumbs, there will be something to suit everyone, and it will also be a great opportunity for gardening enthusiasts to come together and share their experiences.

Children are welcome too – there will be fun badge making activities available, and free giveaways and refreshments for everyone.

It would be fantastic if you could promote this to your friends, family and next door neighbours! The more the merrier!
