Join The Groundswell Collective for a hands-on Seed Library Workshop and Packing Session at Edgeworth Memorial Neighbourhood Centre as part of the Seeds of Resilience monthly program.
All About Herbs is a practical, beginner-friendly session focused on growing healthy, productive herbs at home, with a special spotlight on Thai basil and simple mini wicking systems that help herbs thrive with less water and maintenance.
Participants will learn how wicking systems work and how they can be easily adapted for small spaces, veggie patches, balconies and kitchen gardens.
Featured focus: Mini Wicking Systems for Herbs
This session will explore:
- The basics of growing herbs successfully at home
- How mini wicking systems work and why they’re ideal for herbs
- A step-by-step demonstration of a mini wicking system for Thai basil
- Tips for watering, harvesting and keeping herbs productive
- Simple herb packaging techniques for sharing and storage
Alongside the workshop, participants will help pack and label herbs and seeds for the Lake Mac Seed Library, supporting biodiversity, local food resilience and community sharing.
☕ A relaxed, social morning — conversation and curiosity encouraged.
