What lurks at the bottom of your garden? Delve into hedges, take
a peek in our shed and unearth wonders from our flower beds and
ponds.
Take a closer look
Explore habitats, study food chains, track animals and discover

Inspired by Charles Darwin
Inspired by the work of Charles Darwin on his 200th birthday,
Garden Detectives turns the ordinary into the
extraordinary.
Take a larger-than-life look at plants and flowers, learn
fascinating facts about nature and experience all the sounds and
smells of a real garden without getting your hands dirty.
With interactive exhibits and real live specimens, this is your
chance to be a garden detective. Take home new skills and
investigate your own garden or local environment, and see the
natural world through the eyes of a detective.
Darwin200 is a national programme of events celebrating Charles
Darwin's scientific ideas and their impact on society.
