Our autumn animal cards are back again! Pick up a free card on your way into the Garden to learn about different garden wildlife and what they get up to at this time of year and decorate it with fallen leaves, seeds and petals as you make your way around the beautiful Botanic Garden.
Several different animal cards are available to collect. Cards will change approximately every 2 weeks.
