I had meant to include info about this workshop in my original story on urban gardening that ran last week.
There is so much cool stuff happening around on the ‘greens circuit’ that i often wish i could grow my durga arms and recover the pre-abused brain of younger days to adequately drape myself over it all and bring it to you with a new-model textiled bamboo bow.
Since that obviously is not happening I’ll stick with the bare facts:
