The first garden group outing of 2016 will take place on:
Thursday 4th February 2016 at 1.30 pm
Jane Cooper has kindly offered to host this event at her
house: address can be requested from Caroline
We will be following on from our December meeting when we learned about bug hotels
and we will be assembling our own together in Jane’s barn/gîte - although there is heating it might be a good idea to dress warmly.
You will need to bring
a box or container (an old wine crate would be ideal)
and some materiel to fill it with to attract a variety of insect life -
bamboo sticks, straw, twigs, pine cones, dry leaves, pieces of bark…
As always, there will be tea and cake !

Hilary Nightingale will be bringing a trap for asian hornets that she has made to show us.
We look forward to seeing you all on the 4th,
Pat & Caroline
