This story covers a lot, but importantly, highlights the fact that modern day plants are survivors, not dinosaurs.
From how the earliest land plants survived, to the dominance of flowering plants, the story of plant evolution is one of resilience and transformation.
This tour traces the remarkable journey of how plants first colonised the land, developed vascular systems, and began producing seeds, culminating in the extraordinary diversity of flora we see today. Far from being relics of the past, modern plants are survivors; even those descended from ancient lineages that predate the dinosaurs continue to survive and evolve.
Join our knowledgeable guides to explore the deep history of plant life on Earth and discover how plants remain at the very heart of our living planet.
