During lockdown, many of us spent a lot more time in our own gardens – but do you know how many different animals live there?
Learn all about garden animals and how to encourage more wildlife to visit at Stillingfleet Lodge Gardens’ Annual Family Wildlife Day.
Every year, Stillingfleet Lodge Gardens opens its doors to a team of wildlife experts who search through the garden to find the wildlife that makes this garden their home.
For 2021, the event will take place on Sunday 27 June, 11am to 5pm.
