Hallo Dear Friends
Its great to be back with you again and I have already received one order even before I send out this newsletter! I am very grateful to Priyanka at the REWA Education Centre as she is allowing us to continue to use the centre as the library section has re-opened even if there are no classes at present. If you are new to the Gabs Veggie and Herb Service please read the Step by Step instructions for making an order. Thank you.
We had an awesome Masterclass at Green House Technologies yesterday and I would like to thank all the participants and the hosts of the event and welcome them to this newsletter. I have adjusted the dates for other up-coming workshops and so please continue to register/book as first come first served is still in operation, especially for the Preservation Workshop where the places are quite limited. The deadline for payment for the Introduction to Organic Gardening/Farming Course is Tuesday 18th August. If you have not already let me know that you are interested please do so ASAP. As an added bonus, those who book for any of the workshops will receive a free digital copy of the Spring Issue of SC Gardens Botswana.
Please find the dates below for upcoming events and further information in the attachments to this email. Thank you.
