Pests in your vegie patch? Before you reach for a spray, join us for this special event and learn directly from an entomologist who usually works with farmers. Find out how to turn your backyard into a balanced and biodiverse ecosystem using predatory insects to keep pests under control. Get to know your garden critters and learn smarter and safer solutions to manage them in the home orchard and vegie patch.

Please note that this is an event for Melbourne gardeners only. Gardening is very context specific and we will not be taking questions relating to other areas. If you live outside Melbourne, please contact your council to find out what free sustainable gardening events are available locally.

The online workshop will commence at 6:30pm sharp but we'll be online from 6:15pm for basic tech support and to enjoy a chat about how our gardens are growing.

This My Smart Garden event is organised by Hobsons Bay City Council.
