Regenerative Gardening and Biochar

About

Meet Matt and Carlie Bateman (pictured) from the Caldera Flower Farm at Upper Crystal Creek. It’s one of the few flower farms to actively embrace regenerative agricultural principals to grow their beautiful (and healthy) fresh cut flowers here in Northern NSW.

In this workshop, you will learn about Biochar and its use as a soil building strategy. It’s one of their secrets of success! On the day we will actually make some biochar, and you will even have a chance to take some home.

You will learn:

● What exactly is Biochar and why is it an important soil amendment

● How Biochar can lead to both stable and soil functional Carbon

● How can you make good quality Biochar at home

● How can Biochar be used effectively in the home garden

We do ask that any children attending this workshop be closely supervised.

LOCATION; We are on Mooball Street, opposite the Mount St Patrick’s Primary School, next to Showgrounds Gate 2.

Please wear closed footwear. Bring a hat and sun protection
