Join Jenny Deans for a colourful presentation about local native bees, and a hands-on community bee hotel building workshop.
You will discover:
• what native bees look like
• the role of native bees in conservation and food security
• what native bees need to thrive
• top tips to attract and care for native bees in your backyard
You will build a bee mini-hotel from recycled materials (to take home) and contribute to installation of bee hotels at Gawler Environment Centre.
What to bring: We will be sitting under cover outside, please bring a warm jacket if the weather is cool.
Parking: We have one accessible parking spot onsite, please let us know if you would like to book it. Street parking is available on Main North Rd, or across the road on Flinders St. Parking is also available at Gawler Central shopping centre around the corner. We are very close to Gawler Central train station if the train is an option for you.
This workshop is funded by Grants for Seniors and presented on the International Day for Older Persons. This doesn’t mean you have to be an older person to attend, everyone is welcome, and intergenerational interaction is encouraged!
