The aim of this project is to provide an inspirational facility that can be enjoyed by all the family. We hope that people of all ages will get pleasure from seeing unusual plants and animals in a more natural setting.
But by demonstrating some of the little known relationships between plants of different genera, plants and fungi, plants and animals and plants with their environment we will inspire the naturalists of tomorrow.
We hope to have the support of our local education authority and visits from local schools once we are fully operational. We are prepared to work very closely with teachers to make visits enjoyable, entertaining and instructive.
Pupils will be encouraged to be hands-on with the plants and the animals and to ask questions.
