(Budget) Backyard Homesteading and Urban Foraging

SLA’s Maker, Mender, Sharing Web Group Leader Ellie is running a budget gardening and foraging workshop at this year’s Winter Blooming Festival. Tickets are $15 and available here: https://www.neram.com.au/event/budget-backyard-homesteading-and-urban-foraging/

Learn about the abundance available in your backyard and neighbourhood! We’ll go through the basics of how to turn your backyard into a mini homestead regardless of budget or home ownership and how to find edible and useful plants in your neighbourhood. Everyone will leave with a pot they have made themselves, soil, seeds, and a zine covering the things we have learnt.
