Activity Trail and Quiz

In 2019, we produced an activity trail and quiz for children that takes you on a journey around the garden (with an accompanied adult). This is completely free to download and use. If you have used it, we would be delighted to hear any feedback and suggestions!

Activity Sheets

We created a set of activity sheets in 2018 with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund which you can download below.

 

Some include a useful list of general resources and specific records of creatures found in the Bohemia Walled Garden and Summerfields Wood in Hastings, East Sussex.

They are based on activities we did locally, but can be adapted for use in other open spaces.

Bees & Butterflies

 

An art activity to learn about these wonderful creatures.

 

 

Moths

 

An art activity to aid learning about mysterious moths.

 

Trees

 

 

See an example of a tree identification quiz and trail that can be adapted to other woods. Also instructions on how to measure and age trees.

 

Wild Flowers

 

 

Walk through a wood or other open space and see how many flowers you can identify with an art activity to aid learning.

 

Worms and Bugs

 

Learn all about worms and how to build your own wormery. Find out how important they are to gardeners
