Plant seeds, grow ideas and harvest the fruits of your labour as you journey through the possibilities of greening Queensland in a DIY garden design workshop. Using permaculture principles these workshops are blooming with ideas, information and solutions on starting and maintaining a sustainable garden. Be inspired by the State Library’s very own Urban Garden and start planning yours for home, work, school or your local library. Each session runs for one and a half hours.
