Title: Beekeeping demo at Wakehurst Place, Sussex
Post by: BarefootDancer on August 01, 2009, 12:18
** Just posted this under Wakehurst thread in "Places to Visit", but thought I would also put here in case any local would-be beekeepers are reading! **


Wakehurst is just up the road from me and they have a new "Vanishing Meadows" exhibition going on at the moment.

Lots of information about encouraging wild flowers and some demonstrations of rural crafts, such as spinning and haymaking. They are also starting to use horses again in the management of their woodlands.

This weekend (1st & 2nd August) there is a stall manned by Central Sussex Beekeeping Association, in case any budding Sussex beekeepers are interested!
