Take a walk on the wildside
10:02am Monday 22nd February 2010 in
YOUNG explorers can still experience an exciting new bug house and mini-beast trail at a historic property in Worcestershire.
The wilderness garden at Witley Court and Gardens is open this half-term and there are a range of family activities going on.
A wildlife expert from Worcestershire Wildlife Trust is on site today to help young wildlife enthusiasts look for, examine and identify bugs.
Other activities include making insect jewellery and life cycle wheels.
The new permanent bug house and ceramic minibeast trail have been created by members of the monthly gardening club at Witley thanks to funding from Worcestershire County Council’s FLOSS (Funding Lots of Super Stuff) scheme.
For information about Witley Court and Gardens opening times and prices ring 01299 896636 or visit englishheritage.
