Upcoming sustainable living Adelaide workshops with Kym
From food gardening and food preserving to sourdough bread making, permaculture, music and more — join me for an upcoming sustainable living Adelaide workshop in your neighbourhood.
Ready to relearn forgotten skills and return them from “uncommon sense” to common sense life skills?
I love helping people learn to grow food, cook the food they’ve grown and have fun while doing it. That’s my jam.
My sustainable living workshops are often subsidised by local Adelaide councils for community and offered at accessible prices, ensuring everyone can access these key skills and traditional learnings.
