A weekend to turn your boring lawn into an abundant, food-growing property... without a landscaper’s price tag.The Grow By Design Weekend Workshop is coming to Nanaimo!
This hands-on weekend workshop will allow you to walk away with a personalised plan to turn your yard into food. If you’ve ever looked at your yard and thought, “this could be doing more,” this workshop is for you.
You’ll gain practical skills in property design, surveying, mapping, food growing, composting, and rain harvesting. It is beginner-friendly, empowering, and immediately useful. You’ll learn how to live with the land, not just on it.
Participants will leave with:
-A hand-drawn design for their property
-New skills in surveying, mapping, and land design
-Knowledge and expert advice to grow food, compost, and collect the rain
-Access to Kenton’s full online course
-Monthly community calls after the workshop
-New friends in your city walking the same path
-A whole new relationship with the land outside your door
