Early spring plant walk at WWT London Wetland Centre

This demonstration is all about native plants for a natural pond!

As well as being attractive garden features ponds can be a real help to wildlife providing homes for insects, nurseries for amphibians and drinking water for birds. Our plant expert, Alwyn Craven, will talk you through the construction and planting of your pond with handy tips on what, when and how to plant.

Alwyn's demonstration will be in the RBC Rain garden where you'll also get plenty of planting ideas and inspiration for the best ways to use water in your garden.

There are limited places available for this special demonstration so please book in advance - call 020 8409 4400. £2 suggested minimum donation, payable on the day.
