Christmas with a green conscience at the Botanics!
Join us for RBGE's fourth Green Christmas and discover a magical hide-away from those cold, dark winter days. Green Christmas runs every weekend up until Christmas with activities to entertain children and adults of all ages.
As ever, the main attraction will be our very own Green Santa in his enchanting grotto. In addition, the Talking Trees Storytellers will captivate children with tales of wonder and delight. For those of an artistic nature, there will be arts and craft activities making the most of recycled materials. And don't miss the visiting carol singers who will join us on selected days.
