Mini Adventures: Signs of Spring

Calling all pre-preschoolers...its time to come and discover signs of spring at Mottisfont with our lovely Volunteer Learning team!

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Head out for a nature walk with one of our spotter guides and see what signs of spring you can find; look for flowers and leaves in bud or bloom, and keep an eye out for busy bees, insects, or birds. Use your guide to help identify what you see, so you can share your discoveries with us afterwards! Then, get hands-on by making your own eco-friendly newspaper plant pot. Plant a seed to take home and care for as it grows.
