About This Event

The Grasslands exhibition opens on 31 July 2026 at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in Edinburgh. It explores remarkable landscapes and the grasses within them, highlighting their vital role in storing carbon and regulating water cycles across every continent except Antarctica. The display features photographs such as Rebecca Marr's image of Cock’s-foot from 2025.

Explore remarkable landscapes and the grasses within them, as this exhibition examines how grasslands span every continent except Antarctica to form vast ecosystems supporting life on a global scale. These often overlooked environments play a vital role in storing carbon, regulating water cycles and sustaining diverse animals ranging from pollinating bees to grazing elephants. The display features an image of Cock's-foot (Dactylis glomerata) captured by Rebecca Marr in 2025.

The event is held at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, located at 20A Inverleith Row, Stockbridge and Canonmills EH3 5LR. Entry to the exhibition is free of charge.
