This workshop will take place outdoors and we ask that you wear a mask while attending.

Wicking beds are a great way to conserve water while producing great crops. And they don’t have to cost a fortune either. Join Canberra’s own ‘Wicking Witch of the West’ - Cally Brennan from Canberra Permaculture Design - who will show you how easy it is to make your own wicking garden bed or plant pot.

Cally has spent the last 8 years making all sorts of wicking beds, from the very large to the very small. Learn her tips on how you can make your garden thrive and survive, even in the very hottest weather.
