Discover how plant collecting changed the world in this hands-on workshop at the Bunbury Museum.
Used to identify species and study plant diversity, herbarium samples provide valuable historical and scientific data for centuries after collection.
In this hands-on workshop, we'll learn the basics of arranging herbarium samples, uncover how plants travelled the world during the 18th century, and meet some of the intrepid characters who spent their lives hunting them.
Suitable for children aged 8 and up. Supervising adult guardians' entry is free.
