Wild & free

Encourage insects and wildlife by building a bug hotel

- STEPHANIE DURRANT

This is the perfect project for getting the kids involved. They will love watching the creepy-crawlies scurry into the holes and cracks. It’ll be sure to capture their imaginations.

Plus, building a bug hotel can often be a free activity as you’ll be able to find a lot of materials in your garden.
