This week is National Children’s Gardening Week 🌻
All this week we’ll be bringing you tips on how you can make your gardens as water and wildlife friendly as possible.
Our first tip is to make your own compost. It’s cheaper, greener, and cleaner- plus it’s very, very easy!

Delighted to speak to Nick from @WindScienceFest today - so honoured to be at the very first science festival in one of my most favourite places this weekend! This Saturday @Science_Grrl will be busting some brain myths, and I'll be opening the festival with a keynote at 10.30am.

This week #CollectionsObjectOfTheWeek is Miss Windermere IV!
Although it might be hard to imagine now that it hangs in the museum, Miss Windermere IV once reached a top speed of 114mph!
You can find out more about Miss Windermere IV on our website at bit.ly/BoatCollection.

Special shout out to the swans in Plymouth harbour this morning, who are keeping their feathers amazingly clean even while surrounded by mud, mollusks and seaweed.

Todays #CollectionsObjectOfTheWeek is Merlin!
Built in 1908 by Shepherd’s of Bowness & designed by Percy Crossley, a naval architect who created the Windermere 17 class, they earn their name by measuring 17ft at the waterline.
You can see Merlin today floating in the Wet Dock!
