An outdoor project presenting works by various contemporary artists sited throughout a public garden. The exhibition stages a dialogue between art and landscape through sculptural and outdoor works that reveal changing relationships of scale, material and season. Using diverse materials and formats, the pieces question how context reshapes meaning, inviting close looking and unexpected encounters along pathways. The show considers the poetic and civic dimensions of placing art in nature, and the stories objects bring into shared outdoor spaces.

Explore how fruits and seeds travel in this hands-on workshop. Touch juicy and crunchy fruits, spot tiny and giant seeds, and listen to stories about seeds that cling or fly. Investigate textures, colors, and shapes with simple experiments and a lively chat with the seed curator. Then make a colourful craft to take home that celebrates seeds’ journeys and sparks curiosity about plants and nature.
Kids ages 6–13.
Explore the secret life of seeds in a lively celebration. Discover how tiny seeds travel, stick, float, or fall as you try hands-on challenges and playful games. Race with champion seeds in aerial acrobatics, a gravity marathon, and sticky darts. Feel textures in a touch challenge, guessing shapes by touch alone. Hear the rustle of wings and feel the tumble of falling seeds as you learn about survival strategies and how seeds help protect plant diversity.
Kids ages 0 and up.
This interactive event explores seed dispersal strategies through playful competitions that mimic natural mechanisms. Participants examine how wind, animals, and gravity shape seed spread and survival, comparing adaptations such as aerodynamic structures, adhesive coatings, and mass traits. The Seed Olympics frames aerial acrobatics, gravity marathons and adhesive “darts” as experimental scenarios to investigate ecological functions, evolutionary trade-offs and seed fitness, revealing how dispersal influences plant distribution and community dynamics.
Explore the hidden world of autumn fungi as you walk through leaf litter and shaded paths, spotting fruiting bodies visible to the naked eye. Feel the earthy aromas and study the varied shapes, colors and textures that reveal different lifestyles—decomposers, symbionts with trees, and more. Through close observation you’ll learn basic morphology and how to differentiate species while appreciating their vital roles in ecosystems. An immersive, sensory experience that connects you with life unfolding beneath our feet.
In English.
Gather colorful autumn leaves and explore them up close in a hands-on workshop. Listen to crunching steps, compare shapes and textures, and try to identify where leaves come from. Children will press and arrange specimens to make a simple herbarium and create leaf crafts with paints and pencils. The activity encourages careful observation, creativity, and a love of the outdoors through sensory play with colors, rustling sounds, and soft, papery leaves.
Kids ages from 6 to 13.
