A Talk by Nigel Cox:
‘Managing Your Garden Using Organic Methods and Working with Nature‘
Tuesday 26th September, 7.30pm in the Village Hall
Club members free. Guests £3.
Nigel is a Lecturer at Bridgwater and Taunton College’s Cannington campus, and also provides online specialist courses in wellbeing, permaculture and wildlife gardening. He has a huge breadth of practical knowledge about sustainable practices in horticulture, both in the commercial sphere and the domestic garden.
This talk will revisit parts of the lecture Nigel gave to the Gardening Club back in 2021, recapping the various methods we can use to combat pests without using chemicals, but this time he will be broadening the subject to encompass a general wildlife-friendly approach in the garden. Sustainable gardening brings harmony to the garden ecosystem, increasing bird and insect populations and enhancing our lives at the same time. As Nigel is a teacher, he imparts knowledge in an accessible and digestible way, and his talks are full of valuable tips as well as fundamental strategies. There will be a Q & A session at the end.
