Workshop Description
Gardening is messy and dirty and fun. But this doesn’t mean that we can’t consider hygiene as we garden. Infact it’s really important.
This sessions covers the fundamentals of garden hygiene. What we do or often don’t do in our gardens, how we approach an issue, or often when we ignore it, can create problems in our garden. Garden hygiene affects the volume of pests, frequency of disease and spread of weeds as well as the quality of the produce you harvest. Poor hygiene and bad practices can also affect the local environment, other gardens and gardeners, especially if you are part of a community garden.
