I know that lots of other people take their families to the Botanic Garden, but I don't know if everyone knows about This Event happening this Saturday - I only just heard about it. It's like the science festival, but with plants and scientists. They say '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.'
I've been told there's a marquee, so we won't get wet! The event is free, but normal garden admission charges apply (i.e. free for children, about £4 or £5 for adults)
