Join us on a Sensory Tour!

Of Seeds and Senses

Meet fascinating plants
in our outdoor gardens!

Of Seeds and Senses

View the intricate venation of the
Peacock Plant (Goeppertia makoyana).

Feel the soft and fuzzy leaves of the
Gold-leaf Bauhinia (Phanera aureifolia)

Torch Ginger (Etlingera elatior) is just
one of the edible flowers we'll discover!

Guess which famous perfume ylang-ylang
(Canaga odorata) is used in!

     

    Always wanted to explore our outdoor gardens but didn't know where to start?  Come and join our guided walking tour with our staff and discover some of the fascinating plants around our outdoor gardens through the senses of sight, touch, taste, and smell!

    Each one-hour walking tour will focus on a different sense. You'll learn how our human senses work, discover that plants have similar senses, and learn why those senses are vital for both plants and people! We'll also visit plants around the outdoor gardens and discover more about their different patterns, colours, forms, smells, textures and tastes.

    Pick a session that interests you or come for all of our four tours!
