Using bamboo in urban farms - Workshop on 26th-27th July 2014

Come monsoon and all farmers whether urban rooftop or large scale feel the need of trellises. Almost all our monsoon veggies i.e. Doodhi, Karela, Sponge Gourd, Little Gourd, Ridge Gourd need trellises. So do our beautiful ornamental flowers. 

Our community farm at Don Bosco Matunga also needs these for our growing farm. So join us to make trellises, entrance archways, supports, hangers etc...on Saturday and Sunday 26th & 27th July morning 8 am to 1.00 pm.

Tushar Kelkar, who practices eco- friendly architecture, will be here with us these two days to guide us build them.
