We’re thrilled to be welcoming Jane and Steve Page to our next speaker meeting to present on the topic of ‘Rewilding the Garden’.

Our speakers are passionate wildlife gardeners who have transformed their own plot into a thriving, nature-friendly space. They raise funds for the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust through talks and open garden events, to share their knowledge with and inspire others.

Learn the benefits of creating garden spaces for nature and how to support our native flora and fauna, from the smallest insects to larger garden wildlife.

Event details:

• When: Tuesday 3^rd November at 7.30pm
• Where: The Triangle Centre

We look forward to seeing you on the 3rd! 🌿
