This Saturday (31st) we're going moth mad with the 'Back from the Brink' team. Visitors can take part in craft activities and have a good look at the moths that call our Garden home. We currently have a moth living here with a wingspan of over three metres!! 😲 (admittedly it's made from wood and part of our fantastic sculpture exhibition 😉) Our free summer trail is also still available - there's lots to get out in the fresh air and explore!

We do apologise, it seems we have had some gremlins attack our website overnight 👾. We're currently working on getting rid of them! Please be assured that we're open today as usual and looking as fabulous as ever 🤩 UPDATE: The website seems to be up and running again 🙌🤞
Very windy again today so parts of the Garden are closed and a reduced admission price applies. However if you do find a moment between showers... it’s a good day for watching Mike Chaikin’s mesmerising windflowers! Hopefully back to normal tomorrow (Sunday) when 🌤 is forecast for most of the day.
