Do you want true health? Do you want to learn about how to grow organic food bursting with vitality and life? Do you want to save money? then this talk is for you. Leonie Shanahan, passionate speaker about organic/permaculture gardens and health, will navigate you through processes in your vegetable garden from soil, compost, microbes, seed, food production and aftercare to produce high quality, nutrient rich, health giving food and more. Leonie has also spent the last 4 years researching health and has the latest information, that you all need to know, to take control of your health, daily routines that you can start in your life, now, to improve your health.
Using compost in your garden is one of the best ways to put nutrients back into the soil. Rich soil increases yield, improves plant health and reduces the need for artificial fertilisers.
Worm farming is a way to recycle organic materials like kitchen scraps. Compost worms are nature’s own recyclers, converting kitchen scraps and garden waste for free, while also creating nutrient-rich plant food perfect for the garden or potted plants.
YCG will be hosting a workshop with Sandie Johnston, who will assist you to turn waste into a resource by working with nature in your own backyard. Organics make up more than 50% of our waste on the Sunshine Coast and this workshop will show you just how easy it is to recycle with composting, worm farming and everything in between.
