Join us for an outdoor adventure designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and a love for nature. Through hands-on activities, children will explore the fascinating world of plants, stories, and symbols rooted in the gardens and local history. They’ll discover how certain plants—like those carved into the stonework of the Minster’s Chapter House—have been used for centuries and still grow today in the Palace and Physic Gardens. It’s a playful and imaginative journey into the natural wonders all around us!
