Green Man Quests

Take a look at the Botanical Gardens' Green Man website. Here, you can search through a number of quests that explore our plant collection and grounds. From Maths to History, Food and Drink to Medicine, the quests are listed in different categories, appropriate to the age of your child. All you have to do is to choose the quest you would like to have a go at, print it off and bring it with you! You can even input your answer via the website when you get home to see if you were right! There are plenty to choose from, so why not try different quest each time you visit us?
