Feeding woodpecker Feeding nuthatch

This year we have welcomed back the lesser-spotted woodpecker and nuthatch.

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, tree creeper, robin, blackbird . .

In Spring we have successfuly nurtured frogs from spawn in our dipping pond - which has proved to be of great interest to children and adults alike.


Friends of Druitt Gardens


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 Education 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 .

join the Friends!
