Learn about some of the fantastic plants we have at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and the ways they have evolved to become adapted to their environments.
Each Plant Highlight video tells you about a plant or group of plants and includes some of the amazing adaptations that enable the plants to survive and reproduce. Videos may also include the ways that the plant is used by people, or interesting stories and mysterious folklore about the plant.
A follow up research activity is suggested for each video.
Curriculum links to the Curriculum for Excellence can be found under Information for Educators.
We’ll be adding to these videos in future – if you’d like to request that we consider a particular plant or group of plants, please email your suggestion to Amy at plantkindlearning@rbge.org.uk
These videos have been made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund thanks to National Lottery players.
