Past Projects

Seedling Propagation Project @ Alice House

2014 - 2016, West Heidelberg, VIC
Together, KABUU and Olympic Adult Education @ Alice House, a community gathering place in West Heidelberg, ran a seedling propagation project. The aim was to share propagation skills to a small group of volunteers. The volunteers propagated and cared for seedlings, which were sold at the Malahang Festival & The Olympic Village Makers Market. All proceeds went back into the project.


Vanuatu Sustainable Nurseries

2015, Port Vila, Vanuatu
In November 2015, Richard, traveled to Port Vila, Vanuata to share his knowledge of Soil Blocking with local growers. Following Tropical Cyclone Pam's devastation, three nurseries were started by Live & Learn Environmental Education Vanuatu to support local farmers. The project aim was to successfully transitioned the nurseries to using Soil Blocks and local compost to raise seedlings instead of plastic cell trays and imported potting mix. KABUU is grateful for being able to contribute a small part to a great initiative. KABUU acknowledges the support of Ladbrooke Soil Blockers UK, who donated Soil Blocking tools, and the Hurstbridge Sow & Garden Club.
