Explore, play and build this summer! 

Discover the world of plants through play. This summer experience the joy of the botanical world at Play with Plants, RBGE’s hands-on, indoor play experience at the John Hope Gateway.

Let imaginations come alive through shapes, colours and inventive play. Have fun dressing up, enjoy stories from the natural world in our cosy story corner and find out what bugs do for plants and what we can do for bugs with our mini market garden.

Families can make LEGO® creations, build and plant their own garden landscape or get creative and decorate a giant LEGO® wall. Featuring the works of LEGO® artist Warren Elsmore, families can also get up close to his most recent LEGO® creation, a giant strawberry made from over 60,000 bricks!

Let the adventure then continue and head out into the Garden after to discover the magic and wonder of nature.
