Waterwise Wicking Garden Beds Workshop

An exciting workshop on building and managing a wicking bed – a self-watering garden.
 
What is a wicking bed?

Wicking beds are a unique garden with a water tank at the base. They are designed so the water ‘wicks upwards’ into the soil, like a candle wick. These gardens are self-watering for times when you are not home!

There are commercial wicking beds available on the market for purchase, or you can attend this workshop at the Eco House and learn how to make your own! In this workshop, our Ecologists will tell you the secrets of wicking bed design and management.

You will be able to see examples of different types of wicking beds in the Eco Garden.
