Did you know there were so many types of mosquitoes?
Yesterday we went to the Festival of the Wildflower in Ku-ring-gah National Park at the Wildflower Garden just off Mona Vale Rd.
The festival consisted of educational activities ~ plant and insect identification, historical perspectives (Aboriginal and European), displays from the Rural Fire Service, injured native animals and native animals from Taronga Zoo, frog watching, dip netting in the ponds, a "senses" garden, etc etc etc,.
What a refreshing perspective for a festival! The whole day was based on the appreciation of the environment and encouraging children to be informed citizens. It wasn't about spending $!
There are a number of bushwalks that can be done around the Wildflower Garden including some with pram and wheelchair access.You can also have a children's party there or visit with your playgroup or mothers group.
We won't be waiting until next festival to visit the gardens again!
Can you spot the frog?
