Overview

Join us for a hands-on workshop where you'll team up with Royal Fort gardeners to build a bug hotel. Learn how these shelters support bees, ladybirds and other beneficial insects, promoting biodiversity and enhancing the garden!

Activity

In this activity, you'll work in a team with the Royal Fort gardeners to build a bug hotel, a structure that provides shelter for beneficial insects like bees, ladybugs, and beetles. You’ll learn about the importance of these insects in our ecosystem and how bug hotels contribute to biodiversity. Your efforts will help create a thriving habitat that supports pollinators and other vital species, ensuring the gardens remain a vibrant space for everyone to enjoy.

This activity involves assembling materials, some light lifting, and working with your hands.

What You Will Need

Please wear closed-toed shoes for this activity. We recommend long trousers and sleeves that you don’t mind getting dirty. All tools and materials will be provided.

The session is outdoors, so be sure to bring waterproofs and sun protection as needed. Please also remember to bring a water bottle.
