An Invitation to the Botanic Gardens Synopsis

Grab your very own VIP access pass and explore the incredible Botanic Gardens.

Have you ever wondered what goes on at the Botanic Gardens? It's not all planting and pruning. In fact, the team have a planet-saving mission on their hands - and you can help. Step off the path and follow the Garden crew who will show you behind the scenes of the Botanic Gardens with your very own access-all-areas invitation.

Find out how scientists research plants that can cure diseases, watch workers wading in the waterlily pond, and discover the secrets of seeds. Find out why samples of rare and endangered plants are stored in the Herbarium and leave no leaf unturned in the tropical glasshouse. Discover insect-eating plants, zombie fungus, plants pretending to be pebbles, and more.

As you turn the pages you'll learn about the importance of insects, the impact of climate change and how plants grow. With beautiful, lush illustrations, you'll discover more wonderful details each time you return to the gardens.

Three large gatefolds open up to reveal even more information.
