Bass Coast Shire Council presents its 2024 productive gardening workshop series, "Garden Gems". This exciting initiative aims to foster a culture of sustainability, health, and community connection through the joy of gardening.

The workshops offer residents an opportunity to learn essential gardening skills while nurturing a deeper connection to their local environment. With a strong emphasis on sustainable practices, the program will empower participants to cultivate their own food, contributing to healthier lifestyles and a more resilient community.

Workshops will run for approximately 90-minutes, and be delivered by qualified facilitators from Bass Coast Adult Learning (BCAL). BCAL is a Wonthaggi-based registered training organisation, providing education and training to people in Bass Coast. BCAL delivers a range of programs, including courses on horticulture and sustainability. BCAL also host the annual Bass Coast Edible Gardens Weekend.
