Is soil actually alive? Can we make new soil? And what does it take to keep it healthy and thriving?
Join us for a fun, hands‑on workshop where we’ll dig into the incredible living world beneath our feet. Kids will learn how soil forms, why it’s full of life, and what makes it so important for healthy plants and ecosystems. Through interactive activities, we’ll explore how to build, care for, and protect soil, whether in a backyard garden, a pot on the balcony, or out in nature.
Participants will also get creative and make their own seed bombs to take home, helping them put their new soil knowledge into action.
Suitable for ages 5–18. Note, children must be supervised by their own parent or guardian at all times.
This workshop is facilitated by Natasha from Beingreen Permaculture (beingreenpermaculture.com.au) and supported by the Rural City of Wangaratta and Wangaratta Community Garden as a part of the March into Sustainability events series.
