The Glasswing Butterfly, Greta oto, is so-named because of its transparent wings. It has evolved this to enable it to be camouflaged in its surroundings.

We have a number of them flying now (if you can find them!).

The team work hard to grow this amazing produce, to demonstrate what is possible in a small area, and for us to teach the children that visit us where our food comes from. But it doesn't go to waste........ A lovely quote from our Head Gardener.
"The garden team are thrilled that the produce from the kitchen garden is going to good use again this year, with regular donations to Jean from ' The community fridge'- Crayford and to Gill from 'Bexley foodbank'

The first of our Giant Atlas Moths from Thailand have hatched! Females have been recorded with wingspans up to 30cm (12”) across. However, they only live for a few days, so now is the time to come and see them.

Pay them a visit to find out more. So much more to know!

Plumeria, or Frangipani, is named after Charles Plumier a Catholic Monk who travelled the New World documenting many plants and animals. They originate from the southern US, through Central America to tropical South America. In Hawaii, where they were introduced in the 19th century, they are grown as an ornamental and the flowers (pictured) are used to make the famous leis.

The plant itself is a listed food plant of a large South American moth, Pseudosphinx tetrio. We have two in the butterfly house, the white one pictured, and another one which are waiting for to flower.

Great advice. Enjoy the sunshine safely please. London Borough of BexleyLondon Butterfly GardensRiverside Café at Hall Place

Phew! It's hot today ☀️

Lengthy periods of hot dry weather cause dry grass and foliage. It only takes a spark to cause a wildfire 🔥🚒

You can help reduce the risk of fire by not using BBQs (including disposables) in parks, woodlands or open spaces – take a picnic instead.

See more advice from London Fire Brigade ➡️ www.london-fire.gov.uk/safety/grass-and-wildfires/

The Welling and District Model Engineering Society, known to us as the fabulous group that run the miniature railway each Sunday, welcomed students from Royal Greenwich Trust School yesterday as part of their studies. They were given a short talk on engineering and then able to ride and drive the steam engines. Jane Prince , Head of faculty for creative arts and technologies, said it was lovely to see them out of the classroom and getting some hands on experience. London Borough of Bexley
