Discover the Gardening For Life Flowerbed project, which has been unfolding in Woking Town Centre.

The Gardening For Life project has administered the monthly 'Woking Wildlife Survey' for gardens for a number of years now.  A new survey has been produced for 2008 called 'Woking Garden Wildlife Watch' which asks residents to monitor wildlife seen in the garden over the course of April each year.  If you think you may be interested in taking part visit www.windowonwoking.org.uk/sites/la21 for more information, or email your contact details to la21@woking.gov.uk
