Pollinator Workshop: Attracting Pollinators to the Garden
Attracting Pollinators to the Garden
Thursday, May 29 from 6:30-8:30pm at the Dalhousie Community Association.
$45 per person (Includes all tools and supplies)
Pollinators are in serious decline, with fewer and fewer visiting our gardens never mind making their homes in our gardens. Planting a wide variety of flowering plants with different shapes, colours & fragrance will attract those necessary insects, providing both pollen & nectar for them.
In the workshop, learn about:
- Who are our pollinators and what they need in a garden
- Types of containers, growing medium and amendments
- Best flowering plants to attract a variety of pollinators
- Techniques for transplanting seedlings into containers
- Care of your container- watering, fertilizers, pruning and harvesting
- Then plant up a container with a selection of pollinator-friendly flowers
