Grow Your Own Food: Pea Shoot Workshop (SOUTH MELBOURNE)

Step into a slower, more grounded way of engaging with food.

This hands-on workshop invites you to explore how small, simple actions such as growing your own greens can build everyday resilience, reconnect you with natural systems, and bring fresh food closer to home.

Set within a local market environment, this is a space to learn, make, and share in a relaxed, community-focused setting.

Each session will last 45 minutes and will provide you with key insights into Food Security and Resilience by learning how you can grown your own food at home.
