Please note that adults will be required to pay for Garden entry on arrival.

Professor Filbert is searching around the Botanic Garden because they have heard that humans have made some exciting discoveries about plants.  See if you can find the plant that has tiny hooks that led to the idea for Velcro! Another plant has inspired scientists to improve medical equipment and another can be used as a dye. Follow in the Professor’s pawprints and discover what incredible information they found.

Suitable for all ages 3+.

Children must be accompanied at all times.

 

This event is part of Summer at the Museums 2025.
