Wicking garden bed workshop

Wicking garden beds can use up to 50% less water than normal gardens by holding a reservoir of water in the base that ‘wicks’ up through the soil to keep your veggie roots moist whilst reducing evaporation. Discover, with the help of Paul Gale-Baker from Urban Shepherd, how wicking garden beds work and help build the Whittlesea Community Garden’s first wicking garden bed!

You will be outdoors in the garden after an introductory talk so be weather smart, wear sunscreen, appropriate outdoor clothing, covered shoes and garden gloves. Refreshments provided.

Bookings essential.
