Social Arvo, Make a Vertical Strawberry Planter, West Auckland RE: MAKER SPACE, Sat, 7 Dec, 1pm

Proudly brought to you by The ReCreators!
In this hands-on workshop, The ReCreators will guide you through the basics of woodworking and safe tool use, as you craft your very own Vertical Strawberry Planter from upcycled wood! A vertical planter is perfect for saving space in sunny spots, allowing your strawberries to cascade from the edges.
It’s also an ideal height for children to easily pick fresh, delicious berries—and easy to net, keeping the birds at bay!
Join our expert woodworking tutor, Buffie, for an enriching and creative session.
Learn about upcycling wood and embrace a more sustainable way of living for our planet.
There will be a health and safety briefing at the start of the workshop to inform participants of safety precautions before we begin using tools.
Tools that will be covered in this workshop are a jigsaw, power drill, and sander.
All participants must wear covered shoes and non-flowing clothing (tight-ish!).
Some work may be outdoors, please wear clothes according to the weather.
* Please note children are not able to attend with parents due to health and safety requirements.
