National Wildflower Centre

Since opening in 2001 the National Wildflower Centre has developed a successful programme of educational activities. Groups can visit the centre to learn all about the wildflowers that have been disappearing from our countryside, find out about creative conservation and how we are working to improve urban areas.

We offer teachers and group leaders an easy and enjoyable way of teaching many areas of the National Curriculum.

Teachers can visit the centre with their class or can book the services of the Learning Activities Officer and all activities offered have been carefully linked to the National Curriculum. These include Parts of a Plant, Habitats, Food Chains and Classification. School groups can also undertake a variety of art projects and organise their own mini-beast hunts.

Activities for visiting groups can be tailored to fit in with topics currently being taught.

We also offer a sensory tour and activities for groups with learning disabilities.

The centre is fully accessible for wheelchair users.
