We have a treat in store this July for anyone with an interest in the nature of the gardens – particularly its dragonflies.

Renowned naturalist and author of The Dragonfly Diaries Ruary Mackenzie Dodds, described by TV personality Chris Packham as “the greatest ambassador these insects have had in the UK…” will be in the gardens to talk to our visitors about this incredible species and Exbury’s very special ‘hotspot’ status on 7th and 14th July at midday and 2:30pm.

Copies of his book The Dragonfly Diaries are available to purchase in our Gift Shop.

Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity which is free with a gardens admissions ticket or a Friends of Exbury Membership.
