Companion Planting, plants for bird and insect retention – Sat 29 Feb or Tues 3 Mar 2020
March 3, 2020 @ 9:30 am - 2:30 pm
This workshop is part of the Garden Essentials workshop series.
The benefits of biodiversity are explored in this creative and fun day, where you will gain a deeper understanding of different plant families and how they interact. The rich resources provided will give you the ability to quickly plan either a garden or a shelterbelt to attract native birds and insects. We will play with crop rotations to demonstrate how simple it is to plan a combined garden, but also look at the science that supports growing multiple species for plant and soil health. This is a busy day with a lot of information so be prepared to do some pre-reading and video watching so we can hit the ground running.
Two dates to choose from for Companion planting
Due to everyone’s busy schedules, we’ll be running parallel and identical Saturday and Tuesday courses. (Tuesday hours, 9:30-2:30, intended to be parent-friendly)
Saturday 29 Feb 2020 (Full)
Tuesday 3 March 2020 (4 seats available)
