Wildlife Gardening Club “Hoverfly Lagoons”

  • Altogether Otherwise 6 - 10 Hanover Street Manchester, M4 4BB (map)

Join us for our weekly Wildlife Gardening Club.

Learn how to make your own hoverfly lagoon to support these underappreciated pollinators and pest controllers.

Hoverfly Lagoons are artificial tree rot-holes or bodies of water that some hoverflies use as a breeding site. They are cheap and simple, essentially a container with decaying organic matter and water, and they originated as an idea for enthusing and involving citizens (hence the endearing name) to collect scientific data to monitor our important and declining pollinators. Moreover, they increase habitat and diversity in gardens, and awareness and appreciation of hoverflies and other lesser-known insects.

This event is free to attend but booking is recommend - Book A Spot.
