Sustainability Week: Grand Designs
26 October, 1pm - 3pm
The Museum is looking to renovate its Study Garden into an animal friendly 'Wildlife Garden'.
We need creative or animal-loving young people to come in and create a model for us - show us what we should put in the new garden to attract lots of wild mammals, birds, frogs and insects to it.
The best ideas could even end up being used in the Wildlife Garden itself!
