A special edition of the Community Garden is being organised for Ġenna ta’ Ġonna at Friends of the Earth Malta. This time we will focus on an educational greening project which happened in schools across Malta and other European countries.
Following a short talk, we will get into gardening. We have lots to get done in our veggie patch and wild garden. Join us to gain hands-on experience in crop growing, preparing the soil, pruning, composting/ vermiculture, creating a seed bank, beekeeping, water conservation, planting crops/ tree saplings, and learning more about the world of gardening.
