About
Can you believe that butterflies taste with their feet to identify the best type of food plant to lay their eggs on? This is just one of many fascinating butterfly facts you can discover on our butterfly walk.
Join us in the garden as we look out for lots of different types of butterfly and learn how to identify them. You'll learn all about their life cycle and the amazing work they do pollinating flowers.
Finish off by potting up nectar rich seeds to take home.
