Talks

Combat Your Garden Invaders – The Sustainable Way (by Mr Ukay Cheng, The Seeds Master) 

Whether you are a seasoned green thumb or a first-time gardener, you would encounter pests, a common challenge that plagues all gardeners. While the immediate thought is to use chemical pesticides to keep them under control, these may cause harm to your pets and the environment over time.

To find out more about safer and more sustainable ways to get rid of these pesky invaders, mark your calendars for this talk!

Please note that this talk is for vaccinated, pre-registered participants only; no walk-ins are allowed. This talk will be held on-site with safe management measures for a limited number of participants. Successful registrants will be notified via a confirmation email.
