Started just a couple of days ago, this wonderful community craft project is now on display throughout the summer! Come and see a beautiful panel of knitted and crocheted flowers covering part of the Heras fencing around the gardens.

Created by enthusiastic local volunteers, this vibrant installation also hides fun little insects among the flowers—perfect for children to spot 🐞🦋

On Sunday 3rd May (2–4pm), visitors will meet the project leader, Hester, in the gardens, where children can make paper butterflies to help decorate the space or take home 🦋
