Knoll Gardens launches 2020 event programme
Getting back to nature is great for the kids and I have Eliza as a keen flower researcher and Sebastian a bug hunter.
East Dorset’s Knoll Gardens has just released its 2020 event programme. The full programme features over 70 garden-based activities ranging from willow weaving to photography, and horticultural masterclasses to wildlife walks.
Last year, we took part in the Every Creature Counts Wildlife Survey which Sebby adored, especially as he was joined by bee expert who not only told us some fascinating facts about bees, but also managed catch a couple too and this years is on Tuesday 4 August 10am – 3pm.
Regular events include the Knoll Gardens’ monthly Saturday morning Bugs and Buds toddler club aims to inspire a love of nature from a young age. Organised by the garden’s charity, the Knoll Gardens Foundation, club dates are Saturdays 28 March, 25 April, 30 May, 27 June, 25 July, 29 Aug, 26 Sept, 31 Oct, 28 Nov and 12 Dec. 10.30am – noon, £5 per session.
Running from March through to November, all events are bookable now on the Knoll Gardens website at knollgardens.co.uk

It looks like there’s going to be a summer full of events at Knoll Gardens. It’s so inexpensive to take your child to the garden club where he can learn so much about the nature surrounding us.

It sounds like they have such an amazing event programme to come this year. What some fun things to do as well, I would have loved the wildlife survey once upon a time. I did some for my V Award.

These look like they will make some lovely family days out, and are great ideas for people holidaying in Dorset. Reminds me I really need to see what our local gardens have on this year x

This sounds such a great schedule of events, my Daughter would have loved this when she was little. We used to do something similar at a local National Trust place and she had many great days there

Such a nice idea to encourage people to get outside and be in nature a bit more, which I’m sure too many of us don’t do enough x

When I was a kid I used to love going to these type of things. I cant wait for my kids to be just that little bit older so we can do fun family days out like this! Caitylis x x

It’s so lovely to see places actively encouraging children to get involved with nature and hosting a range of activities for them.
