We'll discover more about wildlife and how to help insects thrive by making butterfly feeding stations and a wormery. At each session children will also be able to have a go at watering, weeding and making sure all the plants are happy.
Regular attendance also offer the opportunity to build new friendships.
These sessions are suitable for pre-school aged children.
