I am flexible with the number of participants, I find that the sweet spot is around 15-30 members but have done plenty of workshops either side of that group size.
Presentations can cater for many more participants as they aren’t resource limited.
For a quote please indicate the number of participants, location and the contact hours.
Bamboo (And the more brown, dried out, semi dead stuff is better than green stuff since the moisture with greener stuff is more likely to attract mould and mildew and fungi but it still works regardless), Pithy stems like lamiaceae, lantana, any dead flower stems, kangaroo paw, dead agapanthus stems, native reeds, heaps of stuff works, PVC pipe, tin cans, or other recycled hollow tubes that can be used as an outer casing to hold bamboo. Size & length of pipe is just whatever can be sourced sustainably rather then buying it, about 50-70mm in diameter would be good, Paper bark or something like bark to wrap the pvc pipes or containers to make them beautiful, Clay, Sand, Thin wire/string, Besser blocks or ceramic pipe, Native hard wood like Eucalyptus (If it needs to be cut up, lengths longer than 150mm are great), Metal sheets like corrugated iron if making roofs for the hotels.

I would love to bring to light the awesome meaning behind Wurundjeri, who are the First Nations carer of country that I live on in Narrm. The first part of the word - ‘wurun’ means the Manna Gum (Eucalyptus viminalis) which is common along ‘Birrarung’ (Yarra River) and the second part of the word ‘djeri‘ is the grub which is found in or near the Wurun tree. Wurundjeri are the ‘Witchetty Grub People’ of the Kulin Nation. I would also like to pay my deepest respects to the Yolŋu Peoples of East Arnhem Land, NT where I do my research on native stingless bees and the Bangerang Peoples of the tall trees from Yorta Yorta country where I grew up in country Vic.
