REVIEW! RECYCLE! REFURBISH!
We have all heard these words but do we apply it to our gardening???? Let’s have a REVIEW of our gardens, RECYCLE what we don’t want and REFURBISH what we do.
Come along and let our experts show you how. Guest speakers this year include
Josephine Scally (Womble Farm), Ken Wright (Riverbend Escargot),
Chris Scott, (Nannup Fresh Orchards), Denise Green (Especially Tulips), Dianne Whincop, (Amber Springs) talking about topics such as worm farms, composting, mulching, no dig gardening, permaculture, food crops, growing snails ( yes, really!!) & lilliums, and generally how to recycle and improve your garden.
Have you ever wondered where the elephants get their breakfast????
…and what does happen to all that poo?
How do you feed and water a HUGE garden when the zoo animals want to
eat it????
SPECIAL GUEST Perth Zoo horticulturist KATHIE MAUGER will answer all your questions, talk about the circle of plant life at our zoo.
