Free Earth Works Courses in the Blue Mountains
Blue Mountains City Council provides free workshops to residents as an opportunity to learn about practical sustainable skills for the home and garden in the context of living with less waste. After starting with best practice recycling, we explore organic recycling. In the wormfarming workshops we explore the intricacies of the humble worm and the amazing capacity they have not only to recycle our food scraps but to provide us with valuable fertilizer for the garden. Can't work out why your composting system isn't working? Come along and we'll give you all the information you need to make it work. Want to start a veggie garden? In our eco gardening session participants make their own sample no-dig kitchen garden and discover the many aspects to gardening in a healthy, earth friendly way. If you want to make your home as healthy as your garden discover how in our green cleaning workshop - you'll be amazed at what you can use to clean your house. At the Tip Tour you'll get an insight into how Council manages our waste and how we can help reduce the amount of waste we produce.
