This is a third-party event not organised by Permablitz. We've added it because we reckon it looks pretty good!
MEET THE CHOOKS – Family Day
– GRAFTING & PRUNING demos
– Hot potatoes and mulled juices included
– Free, but booked
Chooks are rewarding, useful and entertaining pets.
Fleur will bring an enclosure with a couple of hens for you to see and carefully touch. She will show you how to plan and set up chooks in the home garden, covering breed selection, needs and products, coop design, health and nutrition, breeding and hatching.
Learn how to plan for success from the start, for happy chooks!
And bring a little country to the city.
