Bees will also be found buzzing away in the Orchard Garden, busy transferring pollen from one flower to another. If you peek into one of the many tubular blooms found on the towering foxglove plants you will likely come across and bee or two collecting the pollen to carry to their next flower.
What’s going on?
Helping our bees
From 23-24 June the Egg Seeds team will be helping you make wildflower bombs to take home and plant in your back garden.
They will also be looking for an army of volunteers to help rebuild a bug hotel for the beasts, bees and butterflies holidaying at Tredegar House over the summer months.
Protecting the environment
We’re talking all things good for the environment over the weekend of the 30 June. Use pedal power for pond racing and hook a plastic fish as Egg Seeds help you learn about the importance of protecting the environment.
All things mini-beasts
Our final weekend with the Egg Seeds team from 7-8 July will involve making your own log home for the mini beasts in your gardens. You can then decorate the log to your hearts content with some pyrography.
