This year we’ve really excelled ourselves in making our scarecrows! It’s the third year we’ve had a scarecrow festival and we think it’s going to the best!
There will be a record number of scarecrows in the gardens this year ranging from Darth Vader, Bill & Ben, to the Stig – who will be dotted around the gardens for half term week (19-27 Feb, closed Mon). There’s also a fantastic quiz for kids’ to take part in and an activity day on Sat 19 Feb.
The glasshouse and kitchen garden team, volunteers and one of the Education team members have been working solidly on making the scarecrows for the past week or so. We’ve taken over the Conservatory to make them in as there’s loads of space now it’s been cleared out for restoration this spring.
It’s a nice change for us to do something different from the day to day tasks. Hopefully the weather will stay nice and we will have a record number of visitors this year!
As this is something we’ve all done together, we thought we’d jointly share this blog with you!
