Come and meet Green Minds, who are celebrating Love Parks Week, and make some crafty items that you can take home to inspire you to nurture wildflowers and our local pollinators.
Week 3: Life on the Edge

Join the Life on the Edge team from South Devon AONB and Buglife, to discover the 26 endangered bugs and insects that live around Plymouth's National Marine Park. Create your own Long Horned Bee or Moon Spider, make watercolours, listen to stories and help create a new planter for Tavistock Place.

Week 6: How Can We Help?

How can we help protect our amazing marine habitats? Come and meet Plymouth's Preventing Plastic Pollution project team, make a jellyfish to take home and learn about reducing, reusing and recycling plastic with the help of ocean sandpit.
