Educational Visit – Botanical Gardens

As a class we visited the National Botanical Gardens with hope of some inspiration for our podcast. They have ‘over 8000 different plant’s, spread across 560 acres of countryside’



As it wasn’t a very nice day, it got Steph and I thinking about the impact the weather has on plants around the world and the effect this has on food sources. Further into our visit we came across a ‘Fungi Exhibition’ which we were very interested in. The National Botanical Gardens of Wales (2014) states that “The interactive exhibition reveals the intimate details of fungi in a way they have never been shown before, challenging misconceptions and showing how they are vital to the survival of earth.”

















  
Finally, Steph and I were very fascinated in the Medicine section of this trip, it was interesting to see how different medicines were made and what they were used for.






However, although each of these ideas seem to be a good starting point for our Podcast, further brainstorming would be needed to decide upon a final idea. There are also two more Educational trips that we can go on to further explore possible ideas for our Podcast.
