Frequently Asked Questions

• What sustainability-focused courses are available?

  +

  We offer a range of sustainability courses including home composting for beginners (available in-person and online), worm farm setup workshops, beekeeping introduction and workshops, gardening with indigenous plants, and a three-part series on nurturing indigenous gardens. These courses cover waste reduction, soil improvement, pollinator support, and native plant cultivation.

• Are sustainability workshops available online?

  +

  Yes. We offer online versions of our most popular sustainability workshops, including 'Home Composting for Beginners ONLINE' and 'Setting up a Worm Farm @ Edendale ONLINE'. Online sessions run for approximately 1-1.5 hours with time for questions and interaction. Zoom links are sent to participants prior to the event.

• What do I need to bring to in-person sustainability workshops?

  +

  For outdoor workshops like fruit tree pruning, bring gardening gloves, a hat, sunscreen, and sharp clean secateurs. For indoor composting and worm farm workshops, outdoor footwear is recommended in case you venture out to view on-site facilities. Check your specific workshop details, as requirements vary by course.

• Are discounts available for sustainability workshop materials?

  +

  Yes. Several of our sustainability workshops offer discounted products available for purchase on the day: worm farms and composting resources are discounted at composting and worm farm workshops, and indigenous plants are available at discounted rates through our partner nurseries at gardening workshops.

• What is the maximum class size for sustainability workshops?

  +

  Class sizes are kept small to maintain an interactive format. Beekeeping workshops are limited to 8 participants, worm farm and composting workshops are adult-focused with limited places, and the three-part indigenous gardens series maintains small group sizes to ensure personalized guidance.

• Can I attend sustainability workshops if I'm a beginner with no experience?

  +

  Yes. All our sustainability courses are designed for beginners. Workshops cover foundational knowledge—from setting up your first worm farm or compost bin to understanding basic beekeeping or planting indigenous species. Expert instructors walk through both theory and practical components to build confidence.
