'How a Garden can Support Wildlife'
- a talk by Fergus Garrett, Head Gardener at Great Dixter. 
 
We are delighted to welcome Fergus back to the Pottery. In this inspiring talk, he will explore insights from the biodiversity audit at Great Dixter, revealing how the garden supports an extraordinary range of wildlife, including 40% of UK bee species!

Fergus will demonstrate how the findings from Great Dixter can directly relate to other gardens, large and small and prove what an important resource these spaces are for conserving some of our most threatened wildlife.

Learn how, collectively, along with roadside verges, brownfield sites, urban and suburban spaces, our own gardens can play an important role in the future of many of our native species.

Talk time: 11.30am. 
Talk tickets: £25 each.
