This October half term, the Royal Horticultural Society is inviting families to delve into the world of deadliest plants and bugs with a week of fun family activities at each of the five RHS Gardens (Saturday 22 to Sunday 30 October 2022).
In the lead up to Halloween the RHS Gardens (RHS Wisley in Surrey, RHS Bridgewater in Greater Manchester, RHS Harlow Carr in Yorkshire, RHS Hyde Hall in Essex and RHS Rosemoor in Devon) will be lifting the lid on how clever creepy-crawlies and super-smart plants fight back. Follow the trail around the RHS Gardens to explore how plants and insects from cacti to centipedes defend themselves and their habitats. Meet all kinds of bugs and get stuck in with craft and planting workshops and more.
RHS Garden Bridgewater
