The Art of Composting: Open day at the Sharda Centre food forest
The Sharda Centre, 15 Percy Graham Drive, Tuakau 2121 | Friday 5 May, 10 am – 12 pm
How can we make our compost piles more interesting? Come and see the latest idea evolving in the Blue Borage biodynamic teaching garden in Tuakau, located in the food forest at Sharda. We’ll be weaving lengths of Jasmine into a beautiful cover for the next hot compost pile.
Monthly open days in the food forest are a chance to come and see the biodynamic teaching garden without attending a paid workshop.
Open days start at 10am with a tour of the Food Forest, and you’re welcome to bring a picnic lunch and go for a wander down through the bush walk to see the forest space at the bottom of the hill.
I’d love to show you this special Food Forest – if you’d like to bring herbs, flowers, berries or a tree to contribute, then the Sharda Centre would be so very grateful.
