Before going on this year's New Zealand Foraging and Growing Tour (spreading Natural Intelligence "NI" tour) I'm doing a day of unique seasonal workshops in Christchurch at our lovely Richmond Community Gardens! for all 3 workshops we meet up close to the riverlution ecohub (or close to the cafe! (if it s easier to orient by it, it is the same area).Come for one workshop or the whole day, please bring some healthy food platter for everyone to enjoy or something simple and healthy to drink and your cuppa. it ll keep us all going the whole day <3
From 2pm I will be guiding a Water bottle/plant holder weaving out of plants workshop. and from 5:30pm Weaving bracelets out of flax/harakeke. all workshops are unique and practical
Sun drying workshop:
I will be showing a fun & unusual way of sun-drying fruit from the Red Zone (which can be used for vegetables from your garden too) adjusted to the Christchurch environment that any of us can do. Out of natural and recycled materials at hand with zero cost and no impact on the environment.
While canning and preserving (including refrigeration & freezing) are extremely energy-consuming processes (relatively recent inventions of the industrial revolution time), sun drying is one of the oldest and most sustainable methods to preserve food dating back several thousands of years.
__________
Please allow enough time to immerse into the workshop with no rush"
Family and dog friendly event, everyone is welcome.
__________
From this year on I'm asking for a symbolical 20$ per person per workshop, children and animals are free.
You are welcome to choose to share some veggies or produce from your garden, and If not possible just let me know via email when registering at [email protected]

Please bring some fruit and vegetables like tomatoes or zucchinis, plums, apricots, grapes etc. to sun dry.
