27 March 10h00 – 15h00

Western Cape soils, especially in the Cape Town region, are not amongst the most fertile. Sadly, we are very used to just get some fertiliser from the shops, not realising the destructiveness of such products. Learn how to take care of the soil – and thereby yourself – the natural way.

This popular workshop has been extended from two hours to a day-long event which will provide comprehensive hands-on methods to turn your soil into black gold.

In this workshop we want to equip you with the knowledge and skills to control pests organically and in balance with nature.

We are excited to have finalised our public workshop programme and invite all interested individuals from all backgrounds to join our courses. They’re hands-on, practical and loads of fun. You’ll spend two days in the garden digging, discussing, discovering a new you and go home with all the knowledge you need to start your own organic veggie garden.
