About this event
Stop. Slow down. Look around you. You want a Hollywood action film? Let me show you how a spiny tailed digger wasp hunts. You want a soppy romcom? Let me find you a hairy-footed flower bee. You want a terrifying horror movie? Let me introduce you to the Entomophaga fungi…
The world is so thrilling and endlessly amazing. Join wildlife expert Dr Will Hawkes on a wild walk around Heligan as he opens your eyes to the wonder all around.
his immersive workshop invites you to step off the main paths and into the hidden world of the garden’s lesser-seen inhabitants.
Bring your listening ears, your curiosity and a willingness to get stuck in. Along the way, Will will share the rich and often surprising stories woven through Heligan’s wild spaces. There will be ample opportunities to look closely, ask questions and to meet and handle the stars of the wild stories you will hear.
This is a walk of discovery, designed to shift perspective and deepen understanding. You may never look at a hedgerow in the same way again…
