Are you interested in working with natural materials and developing building skills on a live site?&nbsp; We are building three structures &amp; an amazing new habitat garden on a permanent site in the Kings Cross Development. Each of the structures champions a different natural, traditional craft and explores the value of regenerative design.&nbsp; With all our garden projects, like the Paper Garden most recently, we always involve the community in the build and this site is no different.&nbsp;Come join us at the #TriangleSite for an evening of learning new skills and practicing sustainable ways of building. Every Wednesday from March 12.&nbsp;
