Participation opportunities

This year we are  aiming to expand Botanika’s Bee Garden even further... https://kate-greenwood-djf9.squarespace.com/config/ So we are always looking for volunteers. The aim  is to create a nectar rich haven for butterflies, bees and insects with our pollinating friendly plants. We also want to increase public awareness of the needs of our pollinators and to demonstrate how anyone can make their space more bee friendly. We have an 'Open Day' 3-4 June 2023 so please come along. If you are interested please look under 'events' on our website www.botanika.lu or contact us sales@botanika.lu
