Sunday Workshops: Edible Regenerative Gardening and Bio-Stimulants Plus 9.30am – 12pm Introduction to Edible Regenerative Gardening: This workshop introduces the principles of regenerative gardening and demonstrates how home gardeners can grow abundant food while improving the environment and building healthier soils. 1.30pm – 4pm Bio-Stimulants Plus: Participants will learn about bio-stimulants and natural methods that support plant growth, improve soil biology and enhance garden productivity.
Both the Saturday and Sunday workshops will be held at the Forbes Community Centre, located near the heated pool.
