After a lovely morning sowing seeds, this time round we will be talking composting, and demonstrating how to refresh a garden bed with compost materials, and plant some spring seedlings too. $20 a ticket, kids welcome, come along and support our playcenter. Contact us at Te Puke Playcentre or our workshop host Kristi Holland to secure a spot.
