Here is some great news for all those of you who have been talking to about composting your kitchen waste and growing your own edible plants.
reStore is launching its new urban gardening initiative reStore gardens on World Kitchen Garden Day, August 26th (Sunday) at SPACES, 1, Elliots Beach Road, Besant Nagar. The event is being held from 9 am to 4 pm.
There are speakers sharing their knowledge with us, demonstrations and displays to watch and learn from, and seeds and books to buy. The detailed programme for the day is given on the website.
Please register using the form given here. If you would like to volunteer for the event, please sign up here.
There is a suggested donation of Rs. 200 to help them cover the organising costs. It can be made at the registration desk on the day of the event.
There will be organic refreshments in the morning break. Because of the restrictions enforced at the venue, no lunch is being served to the participants. During the lunch break (between 1.15 and 2.30 pm), you are requested to eat outside and return to the venue for the practical sessions in the afternoon. We deeply regret the inconvenience caused to you!
If you’ve never gardened before, come with a 2-5 litre container and ready to get your hand dirty! Plant your own edible sapling and take it home with you! Your container could be a polythene cover, a paint bucket from a local shop (cleaned of all the paint sticking inside it), a pot, or any old container in your house that is either polythene plastic, terracota, or cloth.
