About the Event
Do you want to create a beautiful, unique and water-wise
native garden?
Let's talk about why native plants are
important to our Perth landscape for fauna, soil biology and climate; understanding
Perth soils; how to create a water-wise bush landscape; where to find a list of plants
to suit your soil type; how to place plants to save time and money; and the best spots
to purchase native plants (from tubestock to 100 litre bags).
There will be a demonstration on how to test soil pH along with a mason jar test.
Participants can bring in soil samples if they wish.
Attendees will receive a seedling to take home and get their native garden started.
This workshop is suitable for adults and young people aged 14 and over.Â
