Hedge Planting with Buzzing Coastal Communities at Fearannach Barbara

We are working in collaboration with Bee Positive DG8 for this hedge planting event, and participants will be learning all about hedges whilst planting a couple of lengths of mixed native species hedge plants along the boundaries of this newly established community space.

The second in a series of hands-on learning events over the winter, facilitated by Bee Positive DG8 exploring the wonderful world of hedges and their wildlife benefit as the perfect Nature Network. You will learn about the best plant species for growing into a hedge, how they benefit all wildlife, as well as practical skills in planting, establishing and maintaining a new hedge.

🕛 Time: 11.00am, until planting is done.
