No matter how big or small your garden, everyone can make a difference and create a sanctuary for nature. If every garden played a part, imagine the giant patchwork of habitats that could be created, all the new homes for birds, frogs, toads, hedgehogs, bees, butterflies and other mini-beasts that could be mad and all the mouths that could be fed.

Perhaps you’ll be inspired to start your own new hobby! We will set up light traps in the Wildlife Meadow at Ashwood Nurseries on the previous evening and open them up for you on the lawn outside the Tea Room (opposite the Plant Sales House). Don’t forget to bring your camera. Children are very welcome too: moths are a great way for children to interact with the natural world and surveying moths is a highly educational activity!
