Join Katrina Forstner, from Buzz and Dig in Rushall Community Garden, as she introduces you to the amazing world of native bees and how to attract them into your garden. This workshop will demonstrate methods for pollination and planning for bee habitat, including bee-attracting plants. You’ll learn about the co-evolution of bees and native plants, what common bees look like, native bee nesting behaviours. You’ll also get to make a bee hotel to take home! Bring along a 400ml empty tin (no meat) and some secateurs.
