Things to discover
What’s that I see? It’s a frog! Stay very still and you might be lucky enough to take a photo of these shy amphibians.
Blueberry pond is also home to hundreds of waterlilies.
The pond is teeming with life and things to discover. Take your family to the water’s edge and look for dragonflies and frogs.
