Thinking Green: Hot days, happy gardens - Gardening in Birak

Is your garden ready to beat the summer heat? Help your garden thrive without adding to your watering, maintenance or costs.

We will be exploring: • Significance of the six seasons to Noongar culture, • Pests, diseases and disorders to watch out for, • Edible gardens and what to sow and harvest in the vegetable patch, • Keep your soil healthy in dry conditions, • Recognise and treat water-repellent soil, • Supporting native wildlife through hot, dry weather, • Reduce fire risks, manage fuel loads and understand total fire bans, • Managing summer weeds. Join us at Caversham Community Centre on Saturday, December 5, 9am–11am, to learn how to create a thriving garden for your family and local wildlife.
