WESTVILLE Conservancy will host another intensive half-day training course to enhance your gardener’s skills base at the Palmiet Nature Reserve in Westville on Monday, 22 November from 8am to 1pm.
Presenter, Jean Senogles, will give a brief overview of the importance of natural environments (your garden) and the need to prevent the invasive alien plants from establishing themselves in it. The course will cover the identification of the most common alien plants in Westville and their eradication, as well as educating your gardener and providing him/her with the skills to ensure that your garden complies to some extent with the Alien Plant Control Regulations.
Tea will be provided, but gardeners should take their own lunch. Cost is R50 per delegate per half-day. To book, contact Patty Mankowski on 079 181 5274 or e-mail mankowski@absamail.co.za or Jean Senogles on 084 584 3330 or e-mail jeansenogles@gmail.com
Proceeds go to on-going Westville Conservancy projects, e.g. IAP control and education. Westville Conservancy is a non-profit group of volunteers and relies on your support to protect the environment.
