Green Living Workshops & Kits – Holdfast Bay
I participated in a very informative vegetable gardening workshop at Brighton yesterday. The workshop was part of a series of Green Living workshops, delivered by the City of Holdfast Bay, on a range of topics from vegetable gardening to reducing electricity consumption at home, habitat creation and bird box building. These are funded by the Holdfast Environmental Action Trust (HEAT) Fund and open to residents, local schools, community organisations and businesses in the area.
The latest Green Living Kit is now available from Holdfast Bay Council at a subsidised cost of $10. There are only about 60 kits still available and each contains:
- An A1 Stephanie Alexander planting guide poster
- 4 packets of open pollinated seeds
- 14L flexi bucket
- 12 Jiffy seed starters
- Small container of rocket fuel
- 50 plant ID tags
- 8 way trigger spray hose nozzle

- Thursday 22 November 2012: Growing vegetables in your garden
- Thursday 21 February 2013: Worm farms and composts
