Whittlesea calendar of events

This workshop is primarily for Whittlesea community and school gardeners but is also open to others who are interested in documenting food stories and cultural practices. It will entail using your smartphone to create a short video. You will learn how to: plan your story; film and gather sound; and edit the film and share it. Facilitated by Digital Storytellers.

All people of all ages are welcome, whether you’re a gardening wizard or don’t know a root from a branch.
