Things to Do

A kitchen gardening workshop and kids' activities to check out in Goa

GT Digital

This weekend, there will be a gardening workshop, which will be of interest to urban dwellers and others who are short on living space.

That apart, Bookworm library has planned loads of activities for the young ones in the days to come.

GROW YOUR OWN FOOD

Gardening is a fun way to spend leisure time. It’s even more exciting if you can grow your own food.

And, what could be more delightful than having your own kitchen, or balcony, garden and being able to see (and eat) the fruits of your labours!

Did we hear you say that’s not possible in an urban set up? Join the ‘Sustainable Living: Grow Your Own Food’ workshop at Carasid Cafe, Miramar, on March 24, 2024, and find out how to grow your own veggies in a mini kitchen garden even if you live in a city.

The workshop covers hydroponics, bioenzymes and composting, and will be followed by a Q&A session. Christabel, Subbu and Allwyn will be the resource persons for the event.

The workshop is open to all, including beginners, who have no prior knowledge of gardening or composting.

Registration is compulsory.
