Composting, worm farming, and living off the grid are some of the workshops coming up in the next few months.
Bookings are essential.
Council’s sustainability and environment manager Melinda Hale said the regular free workshops were based on topics central to council’s draft Sustainability Action Plan.
“If you are interested, register early as the first workshop on water wise gardening in May attracted a packed crowd,” Ms Hale said.
