gusfishergallery.auckland.ac.nzGet ready for springtime with this beginner-friendly seed sowing workshop at Organic Market Garden (OMG). Led by For the Love of Bees co-founder Sarah Smuts-Kennedy, you will learn all about seeds, their importance, and how we can foster healthy ecosystems and biodiversity in our everyday lives. Located at OMG Urban Farm on 257 Symonds Street, Eden Terrace, you will take away germination techniques along with your own seedling pot.
For The Love of Bees began in 2016 when Sarah Smuts-Kennedy was commissioned by Auckland City Council to create a new Social Sculpture centred around bee welfare. For the Love of Bees is the work that emerged from this invitation. Inspired by collectively imagining a city safe for bees and growing pesticide-free flowers, For The Love of Bees has evolved into a not-for-profit trust focused on teaching and modelling regenerative organic horticulture. In the face of biodiversity loss and the climate crisis we work to inspire change in our food system; growing food that is safe for our pollinators, our people and our planet.
This workshop is free to attend, with the option to purchase OMG’s Early Spring Seedling Packs at an additional cost on the day. All materials and light refreshments provided. Please note that this is a weather-dependent event.
