Charles Dickens has some new residents – Painted Lady caterpillars! The caterpillars are currently feeding off a special nutrient rich mixture which will make them grow large enough to then turn into a chrysalis. Once these have hatched into beautiful butterflies they will be briefly kept in a special netting cage before being released to enjoy the flowers in the eco-garden. Mrs Buchanan kindly organised this treat for Reception while off having a new crawly of her own.
