  Step 1: We'll start our walk at the Italian Gardens cafe.

• 

  Step 2: With our backs to the cafe, we'll walk towards the fountains, and head into the water gardens through the left-hand gate.

• 

  Step 3: As we near the water, we'll see some plants growing in the basins. Let's have a closer look!

• 

  Step 4: Water plants are brilliant for attracting wildlife. Dragonflies and damselflies rest on the leaves and lay their eggs in the water.

• 

  Step 5: Can you spot any dragonflies or damselflies flying in the air or resting on the leaves? What other flying things can you see?

• 

  Step 6: Did you know, dragonflies have four wings that they can move independently? This makes them master aviators!
