Winter is coming and the little inhabitants of the gardens seek shelter in caves and crevices offered by ground, by dry-stone walls and vegetation. In order to not to make them depart much from our green island, we can build for them a "Bug Mansion"!

On Sunday, October 23, The Association Polyxena and the Park Dune will wait for you at the former Fontevecchia station, to free your imagination and build with us a top luxury hotel for insects!

This "hotel for insects" will allow bees, bumblebees, butterflies, ladybugs and many other useful insects that live in gardens and countryside, to find a refuge beside us.

Let’s have a day between nature and culture, in collaboration with the cooperatives Madera Bike and Gaia, where you can build your own bug mansion, that you will take with you and place on the balcony or garden. So, with the first warm days of spring, they will be ready to cheer again our garden and provide their basic support for biological control and in pollination.

Reservation is required. The activity will start at 10:00 am; the term of activities is scheduled for 12:30 am. The participation fee is € 5.
For children younger than 6, participation is free. Discounts for families and small groups.

For more information and reservations please call 392 2525812.
