Green-fingered residents of Broadmeadows who are curious about weeds that survive and thrive in the area might be interested to learn about how they can be confidently eradicated and then fill the spaces left with beneficial planting.
The session is organised and run by Hume City Council. During the session, participants will learn how to identify weeds and how to remove them; many weeds are fast-growing and can soon become over-established in a space. In addition, there will be information on choosing indigenous plants to supplement a garden, with an emphasis on plants that will help create an eco-friendly space that supports biodiversity.
Indigenous plants tend to thrive in a particular climate, are low maintenance and are often more resistant to disease. They help to preserve a flavour of local identity and generally offer a way to establish a more sustainable garden. Such plants are also likely to be cheaper to purchase.
Workshops are often supplemented with information sheets or Booklets that may be produced in local Print shops.
Gardens for Wildlife: identifying and managing weeds, will be taking place on Tuesday 29th April, from 10am until 11am. The venue is the Dallas Neighbourhood House, to be found in Broadmeadows at 180 Widford Street. The event is free to attend, although participants should register for a place. Beginners are welcome.
