Explore the wildflowers of the Botanic Garden with our early morning guided walks, a special opportunity to experience the Garden before it opens to the public. Each walk highlights seasonal species, from bee orchids in the Old Pinetum to eyebright on the Ecological Mound, offering insight into their identification, ecology and distribution. You’ll also hear about their historical uses and folklore. Join us for one or more sessions and discover the rich diversity of British flora.

We’re thrilled to announce the return of the Bridging Binaries LGBTQ+ Tours at the Whipple Museum!
At the Whipple, our collection is brimming with objects that highlight LGBTQ+ histories and themes, showcasing the remarkable contributions of individuals and their stories throughout history. Each tour is uniquely crafted by our specially trained volunteer guides, who bring their own perspectives and creativity to the experience.
This is a free, ticketed event.
Nature has provided us with many beautiful patterns and forms to admire—for example, patterns on butterfly wings, stripes on a zebra, striking arrangements of leaves and flowers in plants, and diverse leaf shapes. A fundamental question in biology is how living forms are generated and diversified during evolution. Plants offer an attractive system to study this problem as they continue to develop their organs post-embryonically, allowing us to investigate organ initiation and follow their development over time.
Join Margeaux Apple, Assistant Curator, as she discusses the exciting work to bring wild collected plants into CUBG’s collection. Learn about what drives these expeditions, who our partners are and what a day in the life of expedition looks like.
