The National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin are holding a Plant Science Festival to investigate and celebrate plant science.
Over the course of the week, a series of workshops, experiments and talks will bring the story of plants to life. Using plant science and evolution as a window to the past and as a key to our environmental future will be the central theme of the festival. All events are free to attend with some pre-booking required for smaller workshops. Photograph: Leon Farrell / Photocall Ireland
