Pesticide Free

Organic pest control is encouraged at Ginninderry and is necessary for insect and bee health. Ladybirds, praying mantis, bees, butterflies, slaters and more, have an important role to play in a garden and the wider eco-system and you can encourage them by planting the right plants and avoiding using chemicals.

To find more about planting for bees and other insects, have a look at the ACT for bees website. They have loads of helpful resources for the budding gardener and insect-interested person, including a great plant list to help you help our native bees.
