What is soil really made from? Take a closer look to find out. What are the differences between garden compost and ‘shop’ compost? Why is manure good for your roses?

Make a ladybird house to take home to help your flying friends which hibernate in the winter. \nSaturday 8th October 11.00-1.00:  Trees\nTrees in a garden are beautiful. They provide shade and shelter\, homes for wildlife\, maybe flowers or fruit or leaf litter for compost.
