Would you like to grow an edible garden? Imagine wandering outside and picking your favourite herbs, salad greens and vegetables to eat right away... they won't even need to get stored in your fridge anymore.

Thanks to the support of the Whau Local Board, Green Bay Community House is able to offer weekly Edible Gardening sessions at the Community House. Come and learn in our garden.

It's a five week series covering a wide range of topics:

Week 1 (4/3/20): Make your own seed raising mix, potting mix, plant seeds, container garden basics, growing microgreens, edible flowers.

Week 2 (11/3/20): Worm farm basics, worm tea, making leaf mould, hugelkultur basics, irrigation short cuts.

Week 3 (18/3/20): Herb gardens, Bee friendly gardening, fruit tree guilds and beneficial companion plants.

Week 4 (25/3/20): Compost: cold compost, hot compost, trench composting for small spaces, managing invasive weeds and green waste.

Week 5 (1/4/20): Basic biodynamic practices for the home garden. Goethean Observation, meditation and journaling exercises: exercises in mindfulness for the gardener.

Taught by Katrina Wolff from Blue Borage, these Wednesday sessions will cover the basics of edible gardening, perfect for those new to growing food in Auckland. The tuition is free, with the $5 per week fee going towards the cost of materials (seeds, soil, biodynamic preparations)
