Gardening for Birds and Bees and Companion Planting 

 

When: Thursday, 3rd March

Time: 10:00am – 11:00am

Cost: $5.00

Where: Old Cheese Factory 

 

Join us at the Old Cheese Factory for a morning filled with greenery and smiles. 

Companion Planting is now an incredibly popular practice for those beginning gardening, right up to large-scale agriculture. Companion Planting involves the growing of plants together with the intention that they will assist each other in some way – like improving growth, enhancing flavour, fixing nitrogen, or attracting beneficial insects like bees. 

This great event will teach you how to attract those birds and bees to your garden, to ensure your garden is pollinated all year round, in addition to educating you on habitats, plant selection, insects and more!
