Simply Habitat
During this presentation, AB Bishop will build a mini-habitat to suit sunny or shady spots, that would fit comfortably on a balcony, and can be easily augmented to suit courtyards, nature-strips, and any sized garden. Learn about the diversity and beauty of local indigenous plants and why using some of these species will greatly increase your garden’s value in the eyes of your local critters!
You’ll discover why we should all care about local wildlife, what the elements are that we should bring into our spaces and how to set it up in a way that local critters can’t resist!
This workshop was hosted on Thursday 14 March, 6 pm to 7:30 pm at the St Kilda Library.
