Although the staff at the BioPond answer questions all year round, there are some questions which are more popular than others. The gardens are open year round to anyone who wants to visit. There is no charge to enter. We do require that dogs are kept on a leash and of course, that the owner cleans up after them.
Bicycles are welcome on the walkways - please ride slowly .
Flowers are not available for picking, and we ask that you stay on the walks. Spring flowering blubs, such as tulips, daffodils, and crocus die back soon after flowering. Often the foliage can be seen to emerge as early as January, if there has been a warm spell, but at the onset of hot weather the foliage begins to yellow, and eventually dries up completely. The flower bulbs store energy, and next year's flowers while they are growing, and as they die down. For this reason, it is important not to cut the foliage, but to let it die back naturally.
