Art and Gardening sessions: Week 3 - Making an Insect Hotel

Today was the third Art and Gardening session in the Pembroke Pocket Garden. After a group trip with Kathleen to the newly reopened Burgess Park to collect wood, the collection was taken back to the Pocket Garden to become the structure and furnishings of our first ever insect hotel!

Joseph had a great idea to use plant pots as circular windows, and with the help of the group our first slimy guest moved in...
