Join us for Fungi Field Day at the Botanic Garden to celebrate fungi and their relationships with plants in the run up to UK Fungus Day. Highlights include:
🍄 A range of talks from expert speakers about fungi and their interactions with plants.
🔬Science outreach stall with microscopes to view fungi that live deep inside plant roots.
🎨 Using magical inks made from the natural world, help paint an underground, mycorrhizal fungi-inspired ‘artscape’ with the arts and wellbeing charity Cambridge Curiosity and Imagination (ages 3+)
🍃 Guided fungal forays around the Garden.
🎯 Fungi crafts and games stall plus face painting!
NB All activities are drop-in and free with normal Garden admission, except for the Fantastical Fungi ‘artscaping’ - free child tickets for this event must be booked online. Adults do not need to book to accompany.
