Workshop Description
Insects, arachnids, molluscs, crustaceans and worms are all part of the mini-beast community that live in our gardens.
Like in many communities the less desirable members (garden pests) get all the attention while the silent majority (beneficial mini-beasts) get on with their daily sustainable gardening activities.
