National Community Gardens Day Donnybrook

Fruit Fly Workshop

On Sunday 26 November at Egan Park between 9.00 am and 12 pm. The The Leschenault Biosecurity Group is hosting a Fruit Fly Workshop as part of this event.  The intention is to educate the local community about the impact of pests and diseases on horticultural industries and how the local residents can help.  Pomewest is supportive of this initiative. 

Fruit Fly Expert Isabel Arevalo-Vigne from the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development and our own local entity Sam Licciardello, will talk about the importance of both protecting your garden and the local orchardists and horticulturalists from Fruit Fly infestation and mention the impact on fruit quality and access to local produce.
