Climate Friendly Gardens – Gardening for biodiversity workshop

Climate Friendly Gardens – Gardening for biodiversity workshop

Event Information

Learn how to make your garden more biodiverse at our free workshop at Cambo Gardens.
 
Creating the right habitats in your garden can help wildlife cope with our changing climate. As Fife becomes hotter and dryer in the summer and warmer and wetter in the winter, wildlife may need a helping hand to thrive.
 
Boosting biodiversity in our gardens will help resilience in plants and animals. A wide range of plants and micro-habitats helps create a mosaic of food sources, shelter and safe places to live.
 
At the workshop, you will learn about the different types of habitats that will encourage wildlife to move in. You will also learn what you can do to encourage a wide range of species. As we walk around the garden, we will discuss ways you can improve your garden to provide food and shelter for different invertebrates, amphibians, birds and mammals.
 
Dr Gillian Fyfe the Lead for Climate Friendly Gardens at Climate Action Fife and Katherine Taylor, Head Gardener at Cambo Gardens will lead the workshop.
 
Coffee/tea and snacks are included in the workshop.
 
This event will be partly outdoors with indoor space available. Please dress for the weather and wear stout shoes or boots.
