Meet our newest arrival in the Pollinator Parks Garden โ a beautiful willow swift sculpture crafted by the talented Sylvan Skills โ Ruth Thompson. This stunning piece celebrates the incredible pollinators that help our gardens thrive, and weโre marking its arrival with a special family event on 25th May, 11amโ2pm.
Little ones can enjoy a handsโon workshop with Ruth, creating their very own willowโcrafted friend to take home. Thereโll also be storytelling, a balloon modeller, and plenty of creative fun throughout the day.
Children are also invited to take part in our Name the Swift Competition by submitting a drawing of the sculpture along with their chosen name.
A joyful celebration of nature, creativity, and community โ we canโt wait to welcome you.
