Free sustainable gardening workshops
As the weather warms up, why not learn new skills at spring workshops run by My Smart Garden program? The program, run by Moonee Valleyand Hobsons Bay Councils helps you grown your own food, shelter your home, use water wisely and recycle wastes.
As well as access to workshops, Moonee Valley & Hobsons Bay residents who sign up to the program receive sustainable gardening information, discounts from local garden suppliers and can win great prizes every month. You could win a rain garden worth $500 in October and a Fowler’s preserving kit worth $250 in November.
