Living Lab @ The MET workshops are especially designed for people living in units, townhouses and apartments with balconies or courtyards available for small space, urban gardening.
Worm farms are a low-cost and efficient way to cycle nutrients from waste to feed small-space gardens.
Participants will get their hands dirty, learn tips and tricks to keep a worm farm functional and healthy.
You’ll even make your own tiny worm farm to take home.
A morning tea made from local produce is included, providing a great opportunity to mingle with fellow small-space gardeners.
Tickets are limited, so booking early is essential.
This event is held in partnership with Living Smart, a Sunshine Coast Council program encouraging and empowering the community on its sustainability journey.
