Dobbies Garden Centre in Hyde Road is planning free Grow How demonstrations to encourage locals to grow their own and make the most of their outdoor and indoor spaces.
These educational workshops are designed to be flexible and fun, taking around 30 minutes for the demonstration and Q&A session.
The Grow How workshops will take place on Wednesday 2 and Saturday 5 July at 10:30am and 3:30pm, and will be hosted by the Dobbies’ Green Team.
The team will share their top tips on dealing with unwanted garden pests and will encourage participants to ask any questions they may have on keeping their garden pest-free.
The workshop will cover slugs and how to tackle them, wasps and flies, dealing with ants and rats and information about pest-repelling plants.
Dobbies’ Green Team will also highlight which plants are effective in combating pests and how to encourage wildlife, such as hedgehogs, that can help to reduce garden pests.
The Green Team will also be on hand to answer any gardening and pest control advice throughout the session.
Dobbies’ Plant Buyer Nigel Lawton said: “Slugs and pests affect nearly every garden, yet there are many simple tips we can follow to help control the problem and prevent them from damaging our gardens.
“Customers attending this month’s Grow How workshop at the Swindon store can learn more about detecting the early signs of pest damage to help prevent future issues, allowing everyoneto make the most of garden living this summer. “
Spaces are limited and advanced booking is recommended. This can be done at www.dobbies.com/events
