Along the way, you’ll have fun discovering, learning, and seeing the Gardens in new ways, as we introduce you to:
- The area’s geological history, identifying local rocks – how they formed and how they’ve been used
- Stories from local social history reflected throughout the Gardens
- Hands-on ways to connect with the natural environment
