Nursery Opening for Workshops on Fridays

We will be operating the Community Nursery on Fridays a bit differently from 1 June 2020.

Instead of volunteer mornings we will be going to workshops where you will need to pre-book. This change has been brought upon both by Covid distancing requirements and the season (we are going into winter and nursery activities decrease).

All workshops will be 10am – noon and the schedule at present will be as follows

Friday 5 June 2020 – Native Plant Cuttings Workshop - Linda

Friday 12 June 2020 – Native Plant Cuttings Workshop - Linda

Friday 19 June 2020 – Vegetable Gardening in Southland – Bronwyn and Erika

Friday 26 June 2020 – Vegetable Gardening in Southland – Bronwyn and Erica

Friday 3 July 2020 – Principles of Permaculture and Forest Gardens – Geoff

Friday 10 July 2020 – Setting up a Community Nursery - Chris

The workshops will be by booking only (email ) – first come first served (sorry, no just turning up!) and depending on responses, the topics and dates could change. I am also planning fruit pruning workshops etc but if you have something you’d like us to run let me know. I will keep you updated via the website news and events as well as emails but my post lockdown promise to myself is spending more time outside and less time on the computer so apologies in advance if I drop the ball on this one. I don’t have emails coming to my phone so please don’t expect an immediate response to short notice emails.

I am also open to individual volunteers coming to help out on a day other than Friday, let me know if you are interested in that, but again it will need to be notified to me in advance.
