Calling all little scientists!

Come and have some hands-on fun in the new Butterfly Garden, learning how scientists study insects in the natural world.
Working in teams, we’ll set up a simple survey line through the area. We’ll observe and make notes, section by section, looking for bees, butterflies and other pollinators. The group will then come back together to collate and discuss the data and then have some fun doing pollinator-inspired craft.

This activity encourages curiosity, teamwork and careful observation, while giving children experience using scientific methods in an age‑appropriate, enjoyable way.
