Glory of the Garden

PalletGarden

With spring around the corner, there’s no better time to brush up on your backyard skills. The Nature Conservation Council of NSW and City of Sydney are running a series of workshops specifically designed for inner-city dwellers wanting to grow their own food, and it’s all happening in Redfern, Glebe and Green Square between now and November. Supercharge Your Soil with urban horticulturalist Emma Daniell, get a grip on the principles of vertical gardening and how it can be used to transform small spaces into verdant gardens, and how to turn your best herbs into pesto, Patio-to-Pesto style. For more information and to register for this free program, visit the NCCNSW page.
