Step into the hidden world of the garden after dark with our Guided UV Biofluorescence Walk. Using handheld ultraviolet lights, our expert guides will lead you through the botanical garden to reveal the incredible glow of plants, fungi, and insects that is usually invisible to the naked eye. You'll learn how and why different organisms fluoresce, discover surprising species that light up under UV, and experience the garden in a completely new and captivating way.
This event is perfect for curious minds, night-time explorers, photographers, and anyone who loves seeing nature from unexpected angles. Spaces are limited, so book your ticket now to uncover the extraordinary luminous secrets of the garden.
