Join us for an aromatic session in which you will learn how to make your own potpourri. We’ll be using fragrant herbs and plants and gorgeous-smelling essential oils. Then we’ll make personalised paper boxes to take your potpourri home in. Stick around in the park and complete the quiz or younger children trails to learn more about plants and win a prize.
