Gardening for insects – garden talk 9 December 2023 with Jo McKerr

How do you support pollinators and other beneficial insects in your garden? Come and find out how to make your garden both aesthetically pleasing and ecologically sound.

Invertebrates are in trouble – climate change, habitat loss and pesticide use are depleting numbers at an astonishing rate. Gardeners have a unique opportunity to reverse this trend and benefit from tending a biodiverse and beautiful patch. Learn all about mosaic habitats, the benefits of dead wood and the many ways our gardens and lives depend on the butterflies, bees and bugs. Our gardens can look good and do good.
