About The Event
Join us at the stunning Bodnant Garden for a very special Summer of Play session, supported by Family Volunteering Club and the National Trust! Families will be helping Bodnant Garden with their Summer of Play activities and will get to meet special guests from Scaly Safari, a fantastic local business that brings exotic animals for educational encounters. Children will use natural materials found in the garden – leaves, twigs, pine cones, and more – to create enrichment toys and activities for the animals.
They'll learn about different species, what they need to thrive, and how enrichment keeps them happy and healthy. Then, it's time to meet the Scaly Safari creatures up close! It's a wonderful blend of crafting, nature exploration, and animal encounters – all in the beautiful setting of one of the UK's most famous gardens.
What families will do:
Collect natural materials from the garden
