Dr Bethan Stagg is a scientist who loves to look at plants and animals in their natural habitats. Bethan thinks that people do not notice plants as much as they notice animals. Bethan knows about amazing plants from around the world - both wild plants and those grown in gardens.
Bethan would like the children at Burlington to learn about some of the amazing plants that can be found on their doorsteps!
Activities
a) Go for a walk outside and see how many different types of plants you can find. Can you find any weeds in the cracks of pavements or other unexpected places? Photograph or draw the plants you see and label the different parts.
b) Collect leaves and create pictures from them.
