Osnabrück Botanical Garden: Where Japan lies just beyond the North American prairie

Osnabrück Botanical Garden: Where Japan lies just beyond the North American prairie
This family's experience:

Activities: We explored the geographical layout, starting in Asia, and then, unexpectedly, in America. We looked at Japanese trees, collected red leaves, and investigated the different varieties of plants in the enclosed vegetable garden. We also visited the rainforest house

Highlights: The boys were fascinated by the different plants and the geographical layout. Silas even asked if there were koalas and pandas. It was a great way to combine fun with some biology lessons. "It's quite interesting to see," said Janis ✨
