An upcoming workshop will help give a green thumbs-up to sustainability.
The workshop, run by Sustainable Taranaki, will teach people how to turn wooden pallets into raised garden beds.
Sustainable Taranaki project manager and workshop co-ordinator Mieke Verschoor said the free workshop will teach people how to create a raised garden bed using pallets.
“We will show them how to understand what the stamps mean on the pallet, how to identify which ones are safe to use to avoid using pallets with chemicals that could leach into the garden. They will also learn to break up pallets without splitting much of the wood by using crowbars and pallet busters.”
The workshop will take place at the Pukekura Park Enviro Hub show garden.
