Organic pest and disease management

Join us to learn how to minimise pests and disease in your garden by making some simple changes that are completely organic. Learn how using chemical fertilisers and insecticides can actually cause more pests.

Bridget Kuch, horticulturist with Cultivating Community, will show you techniques to increase the health and resilience of your plants and soil to reduce the occurrence of pest and diseases in your garden. She will also show you how to treat common pests and diseases organically, protecting your plants and the planet.

This workshop is a game changer for those that want to lessen their impact on the environment and get a healthier outcome for themselves and their garden at the same time.
