Garden Week at Perry Lakes
April 12th, 2008 by LisaWe went to Garden Week at Perry Lakes today and while we were wandering around my daughter spotted something dear to our hearts - A Frog Friendly Exhibit!
SERCUL, or South East Regional Centre for Urban Landcare have an exhibit at the show and they are trying to make people aware of the danger of too much phosphorus in our environment. They also have a lot of information about creating a frog friendly garden.
There is so much fabulous information in their site and I walked away with so many pamphlets packed with so much valuable advice on subjects like recycling, composting, attracting frogs to your yard, healthy gardening and frog facts.
You can check out their Website at www.sercul.org.au/pag.html.
Have a look at the Great Gardens Website while you’re at it at www.greatgardens.info or phone the hotline on 1300 369 833.
They run free Great Gardens Workshops and Great Food Gardens workshops as well which provide gardeners with practical river-friendly environmental practices to create beautiful, cost-efficient and sustainable gardens.
These free workshops provide information on how to become water-wise and fertilise-wise to keep our rivers healthy. Great Food Gardens workshops are fun and provide information on how to grow delicious fruit and vegetables.
You can register online for these wonderful events and they’re run at many locations, probably one near you.Let me know if you visit this exhibit or these websites. I’d like to know if you found them as fascinating as I did.
