Wicking Bed Workshop

Conserve water while producing great crops

Wicking beds are a great way to conserve water while producing great crops. And they don’t have to cost a fortune either. Join Canberra’s own ‘Wicking Witch of the West’ – Cally Brennan from Canberra Permaculture Design – who will show you how easy it is to make your own wicking garden bed or plant pot. We'll be converting 2 wine barrels to wicking beds, demonstrating how wicking beds can be made using so many different things.

This workshop will be taking place at the Canberra Environment Centre's Recyclery shed at Gungaderra Homestead in Harrison.

Facilitator
Dr Cally Brennan has spent the last 15 years making all sorts of wicking beds, from the very large to the very small. Learn her tips on how you can make your garden thrive and survive, even in the very hottest weather.
