The methods and practices in the workshops are designed to restore and nurture the environment and to assist you in growing your garden harmoniously with nature.

Plants can be combined to be mutually beneficial to each other by providing natural pest repellent or fertiliser, acting as taste and growth improvers, or working as pollinator and beneficial insect attractants. The practical activity is making a container garden using companion and seasonal plants. Please wear a hat and enclosed shoes; and bring a keep cup or water bottle. This workshop supports the Botanic Gardens' commitment to creating a plant loving community dedicated to putting the plant back into Planet. Please note: This workshop is available only to participants 16 years of age or over. Meet at the Kitchen in the Garden Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha, 152 Mt Coot-tha Road, Mt Coot-tha
