THIS IS A 2023 WALLABY CREEK FUNDRAISER! HELP US BUY THE BLOCK!
An interactive and hands-on weekend to educate and guide you through the fundamental principles of creating healthy soil, a healthy environment and healthy food.
From backyards to acreages, wet tropics to dry savannah, there is much to share. Things can be better. Things can be done. And we can do it together.
It’s about diversity, and synergy. It’s about understanding why and how we can achieve this. It’s about challenging the paradigm that relies on external inputs, herbicides and pesticides, to Collaborating with Nature. It’s about living in Harmony and Balance, but most of all, it’s about Connection.
The passion expressed by each of our presenters is inspiring. The desire to contribute, share their wisdom and impart their knowledge and skills has attracted a diverse group of speakers and workshops to enjoy. Diverse they may be, yet all have a vision of making the world a better place. Of building a new way of life, that of community.
Bring your kids along and get them involved in the kids space. They’ll plant seeds and learn about the land as they go on a treasure hunt with nature. Playing outside, making new friends and learning something ‘cool’ gives them an experience that will inspire them in their futures.
From the newbie to the soil nerd, young to old, there will be something for everyone to experience, practice and learn.
