Gardening for Wildlife

Course materials

We advise that you follow the web based course week by week and apply what you learn to your own garden as you go. The only way to learn is to do it yourself!

The teaching team is Leigh Munton, who is qualified in therapeutic horticulture, and Kate Doubleday, who specialises in wildlife garden design. The course runs between 10.30am and 3pm on Tuesdays, starting 18 March at Ynyslas and 25 March for those living nearer to Machynlleth.

The new 2008 material is about wildlife gardening and can be found on the Gardening for Wildlife page. The notes below are from the 2007 course and are links to PDF [link to the free Acrobat Reader below] or Word documents, usually under 100kB. (The photos are from previous years).

Anyone wanting to join the coruse at either Ynyslas or Pantperthog should phone 01654 703965 or emailing mentro.allan@ecodyfi.org.uk or calling in to ecodyfi's office at Ty Bro Ddyfi, Machynlleth (opposite Maengwyn Café).
