Monday 1st September 2025 – Encouraging Wildlife in Your Garden

Andrew Halstead will describe various habitats that you can create or enhance in your gardens in order to widen a garden’s appeal to wildlife. The emphasis will be on insects and other small creatures that are vital components in the food chains that support the larger animals, such as birds and mammals.

Andrew is a retired Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Principal Entomologist, author and lecturer.

In the Summer we usually have walks rather than talks.

Our talks are usually on the first Monday of each month from September to April at St Marks Church Hall for a 19.30 start.

Wine, soft drinks, tea and coffee are available to buy from 19:00pm

The atmosphere at our talks is very informal and everyone is welcome to come – both adults and children.  Our speakers are always happy to answer any questions the audience has – and there are usually very interesting discussions!
