2nd August, 9.30am - 3.30pm
Maroochy Community Permaculture Gardens
41 Farrell St, Yandina

Tropical vegetables such as cassava, taro, yams, yakon and sweet potato are amongst the selection of vegetables explored on the day. Growing tropical vegetables is easy in this climate we live in and when you become more familiar with them you will realize that you can grow so much more food with very little care and irrigation.

The community gardens demonstrate these tropical vegetables with their support species and we will be harvesting these tropical vegetables for the workshop lunch where all the participants will be assigned a simple recipe to create a very unusual but delicious lunch!

This workshop will really help to expand your gardening horizons and also help you to become not only a water-wise gardener but you will have more food coming from your garden all year round.

Sustainable Maleny is holding its next meeting this Saturday September 20th from 9.30am at the Old Witta School, Witta.

Some topics to be discussed include: an upcoming film night and discussion panel featuring mayor Bob Abbott, Transition Town workshops taking place in October/November, the solar photovoltaic bulk buy, community gardens and more.

There'll also be some time set aside especially for anyone to stand up and tell us about something they're doing, some news, or something inspiring worth sharing. Be warned though; there'll be a gong standing by.
