Wildlife Art Competition: Calling All Artists and Nature Lovers!
Feeling creative? Get your entries in for our first-ever Wildlife Art Competition! Judged by local artist Jaixia Blue, creator of last year’s popular Flower Feast Kitchen Garden trail, the competition invites entrants of all ages to submit artwork inspired by London’s incredible wildlife and nature. Whether it’s a bird, bug, butterfly, or blossom, we want to see your creativity shine! Entries are free and open to all (with different age categories), with one submission allowed per person. There will be prizes! Closing date, April 16. Find out more here.

Don’t forget to check out our Kitchen Garden
17th-century working Kitchen Garden, where flowers, fruit and vegetables, grow. Opens on April 3. Free for all, and open every Thursday to Sunday, this unmissable spot is the perfect place for kids to find out more about where our food comes from, and for visitors to relax among beautiful blossoms and hundred of spring flowers including our magnificent array of tulips, due to bloom later this year!
