The Northey St City Farm holds a whole bunch of sustainability & gardening courses - 2 caught my eye and I thought some of you guys in the Brisbane area (& surrounds) may be interested as well. I'd really like to go to the second one but it clashes with something already :/

Have you noticed medicinal herbs growing in your local environment and wanted to know more about them and how to use them?!

Alongside the medicinal properties of the plants we will cover the vital subject of wild crafting ethics, protocol and stewardship. You will also learn how to conduct qualitative research on these plants. Guaranteed to leave you inspired and dripping in biophilia (love for life and living systems) and with a wealth of practical skills to boot!
