Event Description

The Yeronga Bushcare Group (Habitat Brisbane) is restoring native habitat along the Brisbane River. So far, around 500 plants have been planted. Our next working bee is about establishing a butterfly habitat and how to encourage butterflies to this area and suburban gardens, including the value of butterflies, practical tips and advice, a short, guided walk of the riverbank area, and planting species to attract butterflies.

Guest speaker: Helen Schwencke is an expert on establishing gardens for our native butterflies in backyards and in bushland. http://www.earthling.com.au/
