Nature-related, environmental and creative activities that are held on selected dates throughout the year including crafts, games, quizzes and wildlife studies. Led by our experienced team of friendly Environmental Activity Leaders, simply turn up on the advertised dates and enjoy the fun - there is no need to book and there are no age restrictions! Some activities are free (normal Gardens' admission rate applies) and some are charged at £1 per child, however all donations to our charitable education work are most welcome.
