Building insect pollinator biodiversity

Sun 21 Apr 2024

Two big words, "pollinators" and "biodiversity". Their meaning might seem obvious but maxmising our environments to increase pollinators is not well understood by most and yet is sooo important. In this workshop Steve McGrane (aka ABC gardening talk-back host, presenter, teacher, writer and consultant), leads us through the principles, his experience and the research that documents how to get more bang for your pollinating buck, aka how to encourage a greater range of pollinators, as this is the secret to maxmising the production of many vegetable and fruit species and helps balance predators and pests. A fascinating hands on journey will deliver you a wealth of knowledge and skills to turn your garden into a pollinators sign-post, Stop here!

Our Partners

We would not have such a wonderful community garden growing in Coffs Harbour today without the help of all the lovely people who have been involved in the project since it started in 2009. We would like to thank all funding bodies, sponsors and contributors that have donated funds, materials or time to the garden (and continue to do so on regular basis). Their inspiring contributions, continued partnership and support are making a difference everyday for our garden and our community. If you too are a business or an organisation and would like to become a sponsor or a partner of the Coffs Regional Community Gardens association, please feel free to get in touch.
