The Young Garden Club held a "Companion Planting" Workshop at Bunnings Young on Saturday 26/10/24 hosted by David West and Club President Joy Carter-Karajcic.

The attendees enjoyed watching David plant up some hanging pot gardens and discussing the roll and benefit of companion plants. Joy discussed sister planting with the attendees, for example planting corn, training beans to climb up the corn stem and planting squash underneath to save space in compact areas and as companions to each other.

There were lucky door prizes followed by tea, coffee, biscuits and a chat.
