Botanic gardens, Fascination of Plants Day

On Saturday 19 May, plant scientists, biochemists, horticulturists and representatives from the plant science industries will gather at the Cambridge Botanic Garden to share with visitors the power of plants for the first international Fascination of Plants Day.

Demonstrations and activities will run from 10.30am: science experiments will include balloons inflated by gases released by fermenting plants, children can dress up as bees to collect nectar from giant flowers to learn about pollination and there’ll be quizzes to match the product to the plant. Plus the chance to test a laser remote sensing system – the latest tool in forest conservation.

Time: 10.30 - 16:00
