About This Event

Seeds come in an extraordinary variety of shapes, sizes and structures, each offering clues to the plant it comes from and the way it spreads. Easily overlooked, these small beginnings have plenty of stories to tell. Join Ian Wilson for a closer look at the world of seeds and the different ways plants send the next generation on its way. Exploring a selection of examples, we’ll discover how their distinctive features relate to their methods of dispersal, with opportunities to examine some of the finer details. Whether you enjoy gardening, botany or simply noticing what grows around you, this is a chance to look afresh at something familiar.
