PLEASE NOTE: BOOKINGS CLOSE 6pm, 16th AUGUST
Nothing motivates more than success and for continued success in a productive garden, there are some essential steps you need to take throughout the growing year.
As educators, keeping on top of everything in and out of the classroom can be overwhelming, so in this workshop we look at simple steps to take better control of what happens outside in the garden, some fun activities to get your students actively involved; and help you understand the seasonal nature of a great garden.
Presenter: Maria Ciavarella from My Green Garden (www.mygreengarden.com.au)
As a Maths and Science teacher by profession and then working in the nursery industry for close to two decades, Maria has combined her passion for growing food sustainably and keeping backyard chooks with her skills as a teacher and communicator to provide organisations, communities, schools and households with a service that educates, inspires and most of all encourages a more sustainable way of living.
Earth-life balance is increasingly becoming an integral part of school and adult education and Maria, in her work with My Green Garden, provides experience and how-to in a fun and engaging manner. Practical hands-on learning is a feature with participants always encouraged to get dirty!
Afternoon tea is provided.
