Starting your Patch

2 hours

Onsite

Happy Patch Community Garden - 179 Hub Drive, Aberfoyle Park

It doesn’t matter if you have a large property or you’re renting in a small unit with a patio – there are always smart ways to pack more in, get systems pumping and keep our patches grounded in local ecosystems. In this workshop, we’ll use permaculture design techniques to assess our own gardening context and create the patch that works best for our needs, abilities and site. We’ll discuss observation, sector analysis and locating your patch, as well as considering our resources and physical abilities as gardeners. We’ll then look at different techniques for establishing a food-producing space, including bed preparation, planting and responding to feedback from your garden. All gardening levels welcome. Preference given to Onkaparinga residents. A light morning tea provided. Facilitators: Patch of Plenty.
