Wildlife-Friendly Edible Gardens

A free workshop for anyone with space to grow food (or the dream of a space in future). This session will look at how you can support wildlife in your fruit and veg patch, for mutual benefits! Come along to learn how to encourage and support wildlife, bring biodiversity to your space and improve your fruit and vegetable production. We will also explore crop management and pest control in the context of a wildlife-friendly edible garden. This is a free (fully funded) workshop, but spaces are limited so please book a ticket to join us.

We will meet in the Community Garden at Lauriston Farm for this workshop with Elinor from the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh.

This is an outdoor event, so please wrap up warm - we will go ahead in most weathers.
