Concrete Playground

Gaia, the spirit of the Earth, has long rewarded her chosen children with gifts of green and brown. Of course, there are the lucky five in every generation who are granted rings of elemental power (...heart? What?) and Captain Planet as their pal, but for the rest of us there are the ultimately more wondrous essentials of... "BASIL!", "THYME!", "ROSEMARY!", "MINT!" and "SAGE!".

With these powers combined you have: amazing pesto, great roasts, delicious salad dressings and a garbled Simon & Garfunkel ballad.

As sustainability becomes the biggest issue facing our generation, join the green community down at CarriageWorks for the free launch of their Kitchen Garden  project. Everyone is welcome to learn how to become their own herbaceous Planeteer and those who are quick enough can also check out the documentary The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil.

For those extra keen about their green, there will be an ongoing workshop project with strictly limited numbers - to get involved you MUST attend this opening info session.
