Workshop date: Saturday 5th October 2019
Ivy is one of the most abundant and widely distributed UK plants. It is also native to most of Europe. Ivy is known for its distinctive leaves and for climbing on trees and walls. Less well known is the fact that ivy flowers, which bloom in autumn, are a major source of nectar and pollen for flower-visiting insects.
