Attracting Beneficial Insects
In partnership with the National Botanic Garden of Wales, ‘Growing The Future’ project we are able to offer you an exciting range of gardening courses; providing you with the skills to start growing your own edible garden of delicious fruit & veg.
Not all bugs are bad; in fact, there are many insects that are beneficial to the garden. There are a number of insects other than bees and butterflies that can act as natural pest controls and on this course you’ll learn how to attract these helpful creatures that pollinate our plants and pray on damaging garden pests.
