From exploring herbarium uses to discovering the secrets of wildflowers and fungi, come and discover the fascinating world of plant science in just 30 minutes! Science on Sundays is a free, informal and monthly series of talks, sharing the latest discoveries in plant science and research with our visitors.
Create your own characters, narratives and plot twists through creative writing activities in the house, and illustrate your story in the Clore Learning Studio through printmaking, photography, observational drawing and collage. In the afternoon we’ll test and further develop our story games, so by the end of the session you will leave with a handmade publication each to play with friends and family.
This workshop is for those aged 11–16.

What do you think of when you hear the word ‘fungus’? Mushrooms? Moulds? Diseases? What about a maze of fungal filaments living in partnership with the plants all around you?

Do you know how plants get their scientific names?
Enjoy exploring a selection of stunning, winning images from the 17th International Garden Photographer of the Year Exhibition (IGPOTY). These will be displayed in large format, outdoors, near the Grass Maze.
The exhibition will feature a selection of photographs from across the competition’s main categories as well as a selection of higher-placed winning photographs images from the ‘Discovery in Cambridge University Botanic Garden’ competition, run in partnership with IGPOTY.
Did you know that the word ‘posey’ means both ‘a little flower’ and ‘a little poem’? Explore the Botanic Garden in this self-guided trail and see how many poems you can spot. Student writers have joined with the Garden to give a voice to plants that people tend to walk past or overlook. Each little poem serves as a new kind of label, speaking to those of us who don’t understand much from a Latin scientific name alone. There is a link on the poem label that invites the reader to reply with their own poems.
