Pupils will see how plants are adapted to growing in different habitats, for example those in hot and cold climates. How do some trees stay green in the winter, how do plants survive growing out of rocky cliffs and how do we help plants from far away survive in a British climate? Pupils will also be able to find out about native plants which are grown in the garden.
This session is part guided and part self-guided tour. The group will be split into two during the session so please ensure you have four or more accompanying adults.
