🌿Learn to sun-dry fruit, vegetables, tomatoes, herbs and more. We will learn to build our own sun dryer construction out of natural materials. (one will be able to build anything in their gardens after this workshop). No prior experience needed. Fun, hands on, will teach multiple practical skills.🌿 Techniques adapted to the Christchurch environment that any of us can do. Out of natural and/or recycled materials at hand with zero waste and no impact on the environment.
Everyone is welcome to the sun-drying workshop at the Richmond community gardens.
While canning and preserving (including refrigeration & freezing) are extremely energy-consuming processes (relatively recent inventions of the industrial revolution time), sun drying is one of the oldest and most sustainable methods to preserve food dating back several thousands of years.
