Growing Big in Small Spaces

Oct 16 - Dec 18 (10 Weeks)

This course is perfect for people who want to grow food but don't have a lot of space. We'll learn about and use permaculture principles to pack a lot into whatever space you have available. In this face to face version, you'll put what you learn into practice by getting your hands dirty in the Permaculture Garden.

PERMABEE GARDENING PROGRAM

Before the afternoon workshops, you are welcome to come gardening with us Friday mornings from 9:00am to 12:30pm and help us plant, weed, and compost. We share a cosy morning tea together and socialise and at the end of each day, you'll share in the bounty of any harvest!

You will work as a team and gain expert guidance from landscape architect Steve Batley, and sustainability educator Julian Lee. Over the course of a year, there is the opportunity to learn specialist skills like pruning, grafting and seed saving.

PermaBees work in the purpose built permaculture garden at Randwick Sustainability Hub.
