Agape is hosting a Straw Bale Gardening Workshop! Tuesday, September 9th, at 6:00pm Through explaining the Labyrinth Garden project, this workshop is meant to show how this untraditional form of soil-free agriculture can create a creative, space-efficient, low-water, low-maintenance garden for vegetable or flowering plants. Straw-bale gardening involves planting or seeding plants directly into conditioned bales where their root systems expand and thrive in the decomposing straw medium. Adopted by many urban farmers, this method is useful for anyone interested in saving space, a low-maintenance garden, creating a beautiful 3D design, or just trying something new! The Labyrinth Garden was constructed to explore the possibilities of straw-bale gardening not only to produce an edible crop, but also to facillitate community, bring beauty and curiousity into our neighborhood, and to provide a peaceful and centering reflective space to walk, sense, and partake.
