Bequeathed to the Townspeople by Herbert and Charlotte Druitt
This year we have welcomed back the lesser-spotted woodpecker.
In fact there have been two of these birds around! Listen out for them as you walk through or sit in the gardens.
The Wildlife Education Area has visits from bluetits, great tits and long-tailed tits, chaffinch, sparrow, dove, nuthatch, tree creeper, robin, blackbird . .
We have successfuly nurtured frogs from spawn in our dipping pond - which has proved to be of great interest to children and adults alike.
The Friends of Druitt Gardens was established a few years ago to protect and enhance the gardens, respecting the wishes
and intentions of Charlotte Druitt (refer our History page).
The Friends work on a voluntary basis, with work parties meeting weekly on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings.
Please do say 'hello' and have a chat. Please visit the Wildlife Eductaion Area at the rear of Druitt Hall.
Talks and presentations are made - look out for notices at the hall and gardens and (of course) on Facebook .
