This is tomorrow! What better way to enjoy this new-fangled “sunshine” than to join us for a walk in the park learning about nature 🌞

Join us and our favourite entomologists Dmitri and Phil in a fortnight for a closer look at the insects in our wet grasslands 🌿💦🪲 Meeting point: w3w.co/galaxy.tinsel.… Wear sturdy shoes or wellies as the ground is wet and uneven. The event is not suitable for dogs - sorry!

TIME CHANGE! Our ‘Closer Look At Insects’ event tomorrow will now run from 2pm to 4pm to hopefully catch the drier and sunnier conditions ideal for our insect friends. Meet at the Highfield Rd allotments at 2pm 🐞🦋🪲

EVENT CANCELLED 😭 unfortunately the weather hasn’t cooperated! The wet conditions means there won’t be much to see and so we’ve sadly decided to postpone this event today, and we’ll reschedule so watch this space!
