SUMMARY:Marvellous mud - seed bomb workshop for kids
DESCRIPTION:Is soil actually alive? Can we make new soil? And what does it take to keep it healthy and thriving? \nJoin 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. \nParticipants will also get creative and make their own seed bombs to take home\, helping them put their new soil knowledge into action. \nSuitable for ages 5–18. Note\, children must be supervised by their own parent or guardian at all times. \n  \nThis 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.

SUMMARY:Water Smart Gardening seminar
DESCRIPTION:Water is critical to a garden’s success\, but gardeners need to be mindful about how this precious resource is used. As the climate changes we need to take even more care with how we capture\, store\, divert and use water efficiently. \nPresented by Sustainable Gardening Australia\, this workshop will help both you and your garden to become more waterwise. Topics covered include soil care\, mulching\, plant selection\, garden zoning and design ideas to make the best use of available water. Options for capturing rainwater and irrigation will also be discussed\, as well as how to garden on the other end of the extreme: when there is too much rain. \nThis seminar is being run as a part of Rural City of Wangaratta’s March into Sustainability events series.

SUMMARY:Movie screening: Future Council
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ovens Landcare Network and the Rural City of Wangaratta for a screening of the new documentary Future Council. \nMillions of children around the world are frustrated by the dire lack of action to protect the planet and their future.

Their mission is to better understand the planet’s predicament\, explore solutions and\, most importantly\, take the conversation from the streets\, into the boardrooms of some of the world’s largest polluters and most influential companies. \nTheir bold\, hopeful journey leads to the creation of a Future Council: young changemakers working with big business to shape a better world. \n$5 for individuals and $10 for families. \nBBQ dinner included.
