Here’s what one family think of Bow Beasties….
Yesterday we attended ‘Bow Beasties’ again with our two Grandsons Sam and Jack. We have become regulars there since our son and his family discovered the fabulous nature reserve.
Bow Beasties is a must do for us. Run and organised by Ken and Zoe it is fun, informative and very educational for young and old.
Yesterday we collected wild salad plants and vegetables which we were able to take home and eat. We collect nettles and the children made a delicious nettle pesto of which we all got a pot to take home.
Ken is a wonder. He knows all the wild plants, beasts and bugs that inhabit the park. Add to this his warmth and friendliness and willingness to chat, encourage, help and answer questions from all ages and you have the perfect guide. My grandchildren think he is wonderful. Sam took some fossils in to show him that he had been given. Ken then went rummaging in his office to find some that he had found in Dorset. Such enthusiasm for the park and promoting the cemetery.
If you have children or grandchildren I would encourage you to book in for Bow Beasties. It’s such fun for all. Well done Ken and Zoe.
