Wildlife Garden

The Garden was planned and created by Year 10 work-experience pupils in July 2002. The aim was to turn an area of waste ground into an attractive looking place for wildlife and also for visitors to enjoy during their stay at the Farm. The idea was to re-use materials left around the Farm. Basically, anything of use was incorporated, logs, green waste compost, pebbles, broken paving slabs, salvaged wood and so the list goes on.

There have already been many wildlife visitors to the garden and these include resident wood pigeons, robins, wrens, magpies, newts, frogs and field mice, not forgetting the bees. Hopefully more will follow as the garden becomes established.

And soon as Spring arrives there should be lots of colour as the bulbs start to appear all around the garden.
