The Insect Garden at Stratford Cross

We are working with the Royal Entomological Society, using their Insect Garden for learning opportunities.

Insects

Insects inhabit every corner of our world and without them we simply couldn’t survive. We can all learn more about the important benefits they offer our planet, and encourage them to live and thrive in the spaces we share with them.

About the Insect Garden

The Royal Entomological Society Insect Garden at Stratford Cross began life at the world famous RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2023. Funded by grant-giving charity Project Giving Back, and designed by award-winning designer Tom Massey, the garden is now a thriving haven for insects and an inspirational education hub that will inspire a new generation of insect scientists.
