Join Silke from Leafy Greens Esperance for a hands-on workshop where you'll learn to build a sustainable wicking bed using an Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC)! Perfect for the Esperance region, this workshop will introduce you to the water-conserving benefits of wicking beds, designed to promote healthy plant growth while reducing water usage.

This practical workshop is ideal for gardeners of all experience levels. You’ll learn about the materials required and go through each step of transforming an IBC into a functional wicking bed, from creating a water reservoir to layering soil and selecting the best plants for this system. Silke will also share expert tips on year-round maintenance to help keep your wicking bed flourishing through each season.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to set up and maintain your own sustainable garden system at home. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your gardening skills and support a more eco-friendly way to grow!
