Learn to Grow from Seed at Nundah Library
Brisbane City Council will host a free gardening workshop at Nundah Library on Saturday, 3 October, teaching residents how to successfully grow plants from seed.
The workshop will run from 10am to 11.30am and features eco educator, author and horticulturist Linda Brennan.
Linda said she would share her expertise and demonstrate how to sow and grow a tasty selection of heirloom seeds for their garden.
“Growing a deliciously diverse garden of flowers, veggies and fruits can start with just a few tiny seeds,” she said.
“While the stores only carry a limited range of seedlings, growing your own from seed means you’ll enjoy a world of exceptional flavours and locally suitable varieties with minimal outlay.”
Bookings are required by phoning Nundah Library on 3407 8701.

Joe Avati Brings New Show to Kedron-Wavell

Joe will appear at 5pm and 8pm, drawing on his 30 years of experience performing comedy about growing up Italian in Australia, and his take on generational quirks. His material is known for being clean and family-friendly.
“I have managed to be able to hone my act so the content is relatable no matter your background,” Joe said.
He said what makes him laugh are “very acute and accurate observations of everyday life and over the years, I have included more and more of those types of gags in the show.”
