Shaun worked in a pro-bono capacity to plan and deliver a series of garden design workshops for Noosa and District Landcare’s Hinterland Hub in late 2022. The worshops covered the topics of “Native Cottage Gardens”, “Native Plants in Pot”s and “Therapeutic and Culinary Values of Native Plants”. The workshops were a great success being booked out well in advance with over 800 attendees.
