Running from Friday, March 29 to Sunday, April 14, families can pick up a trail booklet for £3 at the West or East Gate to guide them through their journey. Entry to the Garden is free.
As they make their way around the trail, families can look forward to spotting the giant eggs hidden around the trail, along with some other animals that are hiding within the Garden, including whistling birds, a wandering newt and even a ferocious dinosaur.
To complete the challenge, families must find the glimmering golden egg and the mystical creature that it belongs to. For all their egg-hunting endeavours, children will be rewarded with a delicious Easter treat on completion of the trail.
The trail encourages children to learn about and connect with the natural world that surrounds them, playing into RBGE’s mission to build a positive future for plants, people and the planet by sparking their curiosity and inspiring them to protect our botanic world.
