This morning a wildlife workshop event was run by Froglife, experts in natural habitats (www.froglife.org). It provided the children with an introduction to amphibians, reptiles & their habitats which included designing your own wildlife garden and followed by the practical activity of guided pond dipping in the Rotunda pond.
We all had a really wonderful time – We enjoyed trying to guess the amphibians and reptiles, we designed wildlife friendly gardens and had fun pond dipping. And yes, we found common newts, ramshorn snails, freshwater hoglouse to name but a few.
Many thanks to Will from Frogslife for the wonderful session. I think both adults and children learned a lot.
We also run the first of our extra sessions in the Rose Garden, tackling the weeds. Please join us on Tuesdays (10 to 1pm), Thursdays and Fridays (10 to 12). The Thursdays and Fridays sessions run until June 25th. The Rose Garden needs you!
