ANU Working Bees: Weeding and Planting

Be part of growing a thriving kitchen garden right here on the ANU and harvest and share the abundance!

Join one of our regular kitchen garden working bees to meet other students and learn about growing and harvesting food. Each working bee includes a garden walk to check out what needs to be planted, weeded and harvested and a gardening skills share. Learn about gardening by doing it with us: everything from composting to worm farms, weeding to seed sowing, pruning to planting.

You don't need to know anything about gardening or growing food. By working together, we'll help you develop the skills to grow your own food at home and create an abundant and thriving kitchen garden on campus.

At the end of each working bee, you'll be able to take home some harvested produce, seeds, seedlings, recipes or growing guides depending on the time of the season so you can try growing at home. Plenty of shades at the garden, so don't worry if it's looking like a hot day!

Water, hats and sunscreen available at the garden.

Where are we meeting?

We will be meeting downstairs at Di Riddell Student Centre and walk together to the garden!
