Facts and Fiction

In the world of nature there are many Myths people have come to believe, and many Truths so fantastic they are hard to believe. This Yebo we will bust some Myths and reveal some surprising Truths, all whilst experiencing the fun of discovery. It is also the international year of the fly. Flies are easy to hate, but an important part of life. They are the ulimate recyclers a very important source of food for many animals. Our knowledge of DNA and genetics owes much to the humble fruit fly.

We are planning to have lots of activities and interaction throughout the exhibition and a line up of facinating talks on the weekend. Sunday 12th is Mothersday, so why not bring the kids in the morning and give mom some 'me' time before spoiling her in some special way.

Gardening for Butterflies

The vision of a beautiful garden includes birds, the buzz of bees as they collect nectar and the bright fluttering of butterflies. Very often the reality is that butterflies are missing. They are missing because the garden does provide their needs. A lot can be done to remedy this!
