Permaculture Action Group in the Bee Garden at Botanika
Sunday 20th March from 13.30 - 17.30pm

Address: Botanika’s Field, Bickeltchen (between no 4 & no 4a) L-8373 Hobscheid.

You are invited to come and join us at the Bee garden at Botanika.

The aim of Bee Garden project is to increase public awareness of the needs of bees and to demonstrate how anyone can make their garden more bee friendly. We want to show that bee gardens are not just attractive to bees but to other pollinators too. The Bee garden started in April 2019. This year we are now aiming to expand Botanika’s Bee Pollinating plots to other zones in Luxembourg which we will keep you updated about.

We will be working on the following:

• Weaving more hazel from another garden and this has been used so far to create the back of a seating area and to create a division between the wild garden and the ‘English Garden’

• ·We will be planting more shrubs, dividing and planting perennials and direct sowing annuals

• We will be talking about the pollinating plants that have been planted in the Bee garden.

• Our Bee keepers will give you a tour of our bee hives and explain the life of our bees.

Kate will give a tour of the field where she runs her edible flower business, Botanika.

There will be an opportunity to find out more about edible flowers, herbs, and cut flowers on the plot and to test some of our fresh herbal tea and cakes.

Please contact us to let us know whether you are coming, and we will send you instructions on how to get to the field. Don’t forget to wear warm waterproof clothing if it is cold, boots, gardening gloves and if you have a fork and a trowel please bring them.

Please let Kate know if you are coming as we only have 10 places send an email to  botanika@pt.lu to confirm.

An open weekend at Botanika is planned from 2nd – 3rd July 2022 from when the volunteers can look at all their fantastic work!
