Green Living is at your fingertips

More and more, people are awakening to the need for greater balance with the natural world. Not just because it’s better for the environment if we pay it the mind it deserves, but because it’s better for the health and general well-being of communities as a whole.

It is a position embraced by Wyndham City Council, who for some years now has held its annual Green Living Series in and around the Wyndham City municipality. From biodiversity and edible weed workshops to environmentally themed movie screenings, these community events have brought people together under the common banner of sustainable living.

As part of this year’s Green Living Series, Tarneit residents are invited to a free workshop held by local green thumb Anna Sia. Surrounded by the bounty of her flourishing backyard of veggies and fruit trees, you’ll learn the deep connection between soil, plant and human health.

Not only that, you’ll discover some neat ways to protect your plants without resorting to chemicals, as well as various techniques to improve your soil so that it’s as nutrient-rich as possible for growing your own fruit and vegetables.

The Nutrition Gardening and Human Health workshop by Anna Sia is happening from 10am to midday, Sunday March 25 in Tarneit. Spaces are limited – for more information on this and remaining Green Living series events, visit the Wyndham City Green Living page.
