Mini Ponds Workshops - Sunday 18 October. 1pm to 2.30pm or 3pm to 4.30pm.
Join Thornbury Town Council and Avon Wildlife Trust’s Community Nature Reserve team to learn about how introducing watery spaces into your garden can support wildlife.
We will talk about the benefits of ponds, tell you how and where to site them and what to include to maximise their wildlife benefit.
We will demonstrate how to set up a mini-pond, and you will get to take away a free starter kit to use at home. The starter kit will include the container, plants, gravel and cobbles for your very own mini pond. All you need to add is rainwater!
There will also be a chance to learn more about and sign up for the Thornbury Community Nature Reserve and chat over tea and coffee about how to help nature to thrive in Thornbury.
This is a free of charge event, but places are strictly limited, so booking is essential. The event is suitable for adults and children aged 10 and over. Please book one ticket for each household, specifying how many people plan to attend (maximum of 4 people per household). One pond kit will be provided per household.
This event is supported by Wessex Water’s Watermark Town scheme and Avon Wildlife Trust.
There are two workshop times to choose from: 1pm to 2.30pm or 3pm to 4.30pm. Booking opens on 28 August.
