PCG Bug House Competition 2020

About the competition

This year, in a bid to raise awareness of biodiversity and native species decline, the focus of the Petersfield Community Garden bug house competition will be on creating homes for bugs.

Pre-schools and primary school children in and around Petersfield are invited to get creative and design a wildlife home for display at the community garden and be in with the chance to win a cash prize.

Whether you choose to build a bug hotel, bee hive, dormouse nest, bird box, butterfly or hedgehog house, we want you to get your creative minds whirring for this year’s competition.
