 Details  
Go Wild will run from today until 28th September. It will feature, among other things, an aerial walkway through the 30m high canopy of a mature oak (sounds fantastic!). Visitors will also be able to see a new garden, the Defra Biodiversity Garden designed by Mary Reynolds who won a gold medal at Chelsea 2002 for her naturalistic garden Tearmann si - A Celtic sanctuary.
