Being able to identify wildlife in your garden is not only the greatest fun, it’s also hugely helpful when it comes to measuring improvements over time, and contributing to citizen science and the broader fight to enable wildlife to thrive once again in our country.

Join award-winning garden writer, broadcaster, and TV presenter Kate Bradbury for a presentation with tea and coffee, before heading out to explore Knepp’s Rewilded Walled Garden. Kate will share tips on how to identify and record garden wildlife and track the success of your wildlife gardening. You’ll kick off by sorting through the previous night’s moth trap and then focus on butterflies, bees, mammals, birds and ground invertebrates.

Please note, this small, interactive workshop of 12 participants will focus on monitoring and recording garden wildlife and will not cover the design and planting of the garden, or garden management. If you are interested in these, you can book on to specific workshops. Book all three workshops plus the Ecology of the Rewilded Garden safari, for a £30 discount.

PLEASE NOTE: The garden wildlife workshops take place in the grounds of Knepp Castle – a different place to Knepp Wildland safaris. Please do not go to the campsite/safari car park, instead follow the directions to the Walled Garden on your pre-visit email.

9.30am-12.30pm or 2.00pm-5.00pm (May-September)
£75 per person

Our 12+ Policy

Knepp Wildland Safaris, our gardens and campsite are all about the quiet and patient observation of nature.

Some of the species we are likely to encounter are shy or can be frightened by loud noises or sudden movements. Our campsite with open-air fire-pits, wood-burning stoves and an on-site pond is unsuitable for small children.

For this reason, our safaris, garden visits, holiday cottages and campsite are suitable only for children of 12 and over.
