Programme

In the Gardens, we always encourage you to look a little beyond what is right in front of you. You are invited to observe, smell and listen carefully in order to discover all sorts of fascinating things about the world of plants and animals. In this way, every visit becomes a personal journey of discovery, and you can take it as far as you wish.
