Mother’s Day gifts and pest control on the agenda at Alexandra Park greenhouse
The community hub at Alexandra Park greenhouse will imminently be hosting two events, a chance to make a Mother’s Day gift and a talk on combating garden pests. Lynda Foy gives details.
Alexandra Park Greenhouse, off St Helens Road, will be hosting a workshop on how to make a special Mother’s Day gift on Mother’s Day itself, Sunday 30 March, when experts from Doorstep Herbs will show how to make a rose-infused, nourishing balm.
Mothers and daughters can discover how to use natural ingredients and enjoy quality time together.
Doorstep Herbs, a Bexhill-based company, is known for its dedication to herbalism and natural remedies. It combines traditional knowledge with practical, hands-on experience.
The event runs from 10 to 11am. Tea and coffee will be available and, afterwards, greenhouse visitors can enjoy the park or visit the nearby Pumphouse Cafe and Deli.
Tickets cost £25 from Eventbrite with a £2.80 booking fee. More details about Doorstep Herbs, which organises herb walks and workshops, can be found here.
The following Saturday, 5 April, there will be a talk on greenhouse pests and how to control them naturally.
The event, taking place from 2 to 3pm after the greenhouse’s regular plant sale, will be led by Stella Cubison, a consultant from Koppert UK, a biotechnology company.
Learn how common pests can wreak havoc among your plants and how to manage and prevent infestations naturally with beneficial insects.
Tickets cost £5 each from Eventbrite with a £1.13 booking fee.
The greenhouse is available for hire for exhibitions, workshops, talks, and social events. Contact social@our-greenhouse.org.
