Get back to nature with our Flower Power trail! Learn about the colourful flowers popping up around Hestercombe this spring as you try and find their locations in and around the formal gardens. Then, have a go at designing your own Flower Power hero based on one of the flowers you've seen.
Perfect for superheroes of any age ~ especially if you've missed the joy of the formal gardens.
