Nottinghamshire: A Wildflower Day (Day Trip)

Summary

Explore one of the largest collections of UK native wildflowers in the country at Naturescape Wildflower Farm in Nottinghamshire. With the expert guidance of Jack Perks, you will explore over 40 acres of meadows which are home to around 200 species of wildflower. As well as learning about the beautiful flora, we shall be identifying the butterflies, dragonflies and other wildlife of these extensive meadows. We will also have a moth-trap set up on site the night before and we shall enjoy identifying our catch and taking photos in the morning before releasing them. The tearoom here serves a lovely selection of food and also has lots of native seeds and plants to buy, so you can stock up or start your own mini meadow in your garden! There are a couple of ponds on site too so we will have a look at the creatures calling these home. If you have a camera it’s well worth bringing it along to get some close up shots of the flowers but also the wider views of so many flowers out in bloom.

Start time is at 9am and we aim to finish at 3pm.
