Great Uncle Bulgaria, Madame Cholet and Wellington visited Ness Botanic Gardens at the weekend to join in the fun at the Green Garden Festival.

Everyone had lots of fun participating in the many activities which included wildlife demonstrations, making dreamcatchers and vegetable planting as part of Ness's ?Grow Your Own' project. The Wombles were on hand to join the children in creating ?Junk' music; using instruments made from recycled materials.

Kevin Reid, Director of Ness Gardens said "The Wombles are the original recyclers and the event provided a great opportunity to relay their message to a new generation."
