09.01.2022 Horticulture II Program in Cowes @ PICAL!

05.01.2022 The PICAL Community Garden has been reinvigorated with expert guidance from permaculture guru and PICAL tutor Rick Coleman. Rick joined the PICAL team back in March and has been revitalising the garden with the help of dedicated volunteers. The easing of restrictions has enabled our horticulture short courses to commence and the feedback from participants has been fantastic with Rick's knowledge of local conditions inspiring. We will be posting details of Rick's courses here and on Pical- Phillip Island Community and Learning Centre Inc. so keep on eye out for upcoming dates. In the meantime if you'd like to join Rick and our volunteers in the garden get in touch with us at PICAL on 5952 1131 or send us a DM!
