Are you a weed professional wishing to increase general awareness of the impact of weeds on the natural environment?
Weeds CRC has developed ‘What does your garden grow?’, a ‘train the trainer’ workshop aimed at assisting anyone speaking to groups or running courses on weeds. The workshop will focus on controlling weeds in gardens and the management of garden ‘escapees’ from urban fringe areas into adjoining bushland.
Suitable for plant nursery staff, education and training facilitators, weed management professionals, and representatives from organisations such as Landcare, this workshop is aimed at assisting you to deliver informed advice to your audience about local, national, environmental, noxious and declared weeds.
Participants will receive training materials that can be adapted to:
- provide information and materials for short courses and information sessions
- supplement formal training in weeds by educators/educational facilities
- inform Landcare/Bushcare volunteers
- client and home gardener needs
24th November: What does your garden grow?
25th November: What pesky plant is that?
Both workshops run from 9am – 3pm.
Venue: Bendigo DPI or TAFE
venue to be confirmed on booking
Cost: $200 (incl GST)
