“Seeds… How to get away from the parents in a time capsule…?”

Meeting Room; Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens. 10am -12noon. 

Find out how…. Seeds either float on the breeze, hitch a ride on someone’s hide, cruise the waters of oceans and creeks, explode like a cracker, travel incognito in a birds belly, get catered off and hoarded by a hungry marsupial or just drop, plop and roll to a new location away from the parent plants!

During the 2 hour session, Children will go on a walk through the Gardens and check out some of seed’s amazing ways of travel and then come back and create a seed time capsule of their own to either take home or be exhibited in an upcoming ‘Seeds Scatter’ exhibition at the Botanic Gardens in May.
