About this Event
Join us for an exciting hands-on experience (1 hour workshop) where you’ll learn how to create your very own Green Curtain using edible climbing plants such as cucumber and cherry tomatoes. This eco-friendly project helps naturally cool indoor spaces whilst reducing your energy costs, greenhouse gas emissions and providing you with fresh produce right at your fingertips!
Attendees will take home a "Green Curtain Starter Kit" including 1 edible climbing plant*, so you can begin building your curtain at home right away!
* When considering transport to/from the event, please ensure you will be able to bring your 'Green Curtain Starter Kit' home with you. This includes a pot (250mm x 235mm) packed with gravel, soil and a planted tomato/ cucumber plant, along with 2x garden stakes and netting.
