Potted & Indoor Plant Workshop - Saturday 24th September (0930 to 1130)
Plants in pots or containers can be used to brighten up any living space whether indoors or outside. However, growing plants in pots can be difficult, especially if you are growing plants in pots outdoors.
There is a huge array of different plant options available to choose from, and a knowledge of appropriate growing environments and how to care for your plants is essential for success.
This 2 hour interactive and fun workshop presented by horticulturist David Bayly, will offer much of the information you will need to assist in growing plants in pots.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
