Learning Sessions

Welcome to our learning session page, a kind of online catalog of information, activities and resources for you to read along and interact with at home or on your own to learn and explore more about our gardening, organics and our environment!

Our online Local Learning curriculum is organised into five sessions. These can be follow in or out of order depending on your interests, your experience or what you have available at home or around the neighbourhood.

Each section has online learning content as well as downloadable session programmes to help you apply each lesson and expand your understanding and experience.

1. Plant Needs & Seeds

In this session we will investigate the basic needs of plants, what seeds are, where they come from, how they spread and how we can propagate them in our own garden.

2. Pals & Pests in the Garden

In this session we will get to know some of the garden's many different residents and visitors, how they can support our goals, how they might hinder our efforts and how we can work together to share the garden and benefit each other.
