SIMULTANEOUS STORYTIME

Hey diddle diddle

You all know the riddle
A cow jumps over the moon…
But the moon is very high in the sky.
How many attempts will it take before Cow makes her famous high-flying leap?
On Wednesday, 24th May at 11am, Parkes Library will join organisations from Darwin to Hounville in a simultaneous reading of the picture book The Cow Tripped Over the Moon, written by Tony Wilson and il- lustrated by Laura Wood. Parkes Library storyteller Sandie Ward has been prepar- ing for weeks – expect an out of this world performance. Mums, dads, carers and children are all invited. For information call 6861 2309.

SEED BOMB WORKSHOP

Presenter – Michael Chambers
Thursday, 15th June 3:30 – 4:30pm
Seed bombs (or seed balls), made from clay, compost and seeds, have been used as a technique for sowing plants for cen- turies. Recently popularised by the Japa- nese natural farming pioneer, Masanobu Fukuoka, gardeners across the world are now trying out this simple technique.

In this workshop you will learn how seed bombs are made and have a go at mak- ing some yourself. You will learn about the benefits of gardening with seed bombs, and you can take some home to try out in your garden! Bookings required. Please call 6861 2309.
