COMPANION PLANTING FOR THE WHOLE GARDEN

Date: Saturday, 18 October 2025

Time: 10h00 for 10h30

We all need friends, for a reason, a season, and maybe even a lifetime, but did you know that plants need friends too? Companion planting isn’t just for the herb and vegetable garden; it is something that we should consider when planting perennials, annuals, shrubs, and shade plants in pots and other containers, or in our garden.

By combining certain plants, they can bring out the best in each other, attract pollinators, promote flowering and flavours, and ensure longevity by sharing their defense mechanisms. By growing the correct combinations together, you promote healthiness in your garden and rejuvenate your soil, which will result in long-lasting success.

Come and join the incredibly knowledgeable Dr. Cary Goodwin and learn all the tricks of the trade!

Join us this November for a fun, down-to-earth interior decorating session that brings expert advice to everyday living. Whether you’re redecorating a space, refreshing a tired corner, or just trying to make your home feel more “put together,” this talk is packed with practical tips and design do’s and don’ts.

Our speaker, Candice Cottrell, will unpack key elements of good design – and the little things that can make a big difference, like:

• The correct height to hang artwork or family photos
• Common decorating mistakes (and how to avoid them)
• Throws, cushions, rugs, mats and texture: easy updates that elevate a room
• Paint tricks and wall trends – wall paper: is it in or out?
• How to create a stylish space without spending a fortune

We will also touch on current trends in interiors – from sustainable materials and warm neutrals to layered lighting and curated spaces with personal charm.

Bring your questions, your curiosity, and maybe a few pics of your own space. You’ll leave inspired, empowered, and ready to refresh your home with confidence.
