With less than 2 weeks of advertising we were amazed and thrilled to have 17 Greater Dandenong locals join us for an all day "Grow Your Own Food" Workshop on September 7th.  The course covered:

* Great reasons to grow your own food (for inspiration)

* Basic edible garden design - where to grow your fruit and veges

* How to make and keep your soil healthy - with a focus on compost and worm farms

* Organic Pest management

* How to plant seeds and seedlings

* Productive urban animals - including chooks & bees

* Common problems

It's been great to see many of the folk who came along on this day at the events that we've had since.  Friendships, as well as gardening skills, have developed since.
