About this Event
The Bog Meadows Community Garden is a specialist community garden focused on wildlife gardening. The garden features vibrant raised beds, constructed by Workforce students, filled with pollinator-friendly plants, herbs, edible fruits and wildflowers – a haven for bees, birds, butterflies and a host of other wildlife. Enhancing the garden’s eco-credentials, all plants are grown in peat-free New Leaf compost, made and donated by Natural World Products.
The addition of a pond, constructed with help from Black Mountain volunteers, ensures a vital refuge for wetland-loving creatures such as frogs and newts. Plus, extra features such as bug hotels, log piles, wild areas, and bird nesting boxes help the space grow just that little bit wilder.
The garden is managed by Ulster Wildlife, and the Meadows Ladies Volunteer Groups regularly meets to maintain the garden.
This workshop will focus on activities communities can do to encourage more wildlife in their community gardens. We will also learn some nature connection activities.
