DLR Biodiversity Week Workshop- How to make a wildlife pond Kilbogget Park
Sat, 20 May 2023, 11:00 am Kilbogget Park

DLR Biodiversity is delighted to work with Rob Gandola of the HSI to show us how to create a wildlife pond. Anyone can bring a watery habitat to their garden, even in the smallest of spaces. Ponds don’t have to be large, even a mini pond in a container will benefit wildlife. Rob will help you to learn how to get the most out of your garden for biodiversity by creating a pond for biodiversity. Create your own pond and enjoy all the beauty of insects, frogs, birds and plants you will bring to your garden.

Children must be accompanied by an adult. To book your place please go to Eventbrite here.
