Tes Live Lesson with The Royal Horticultural Society

Come on a visit to RHS Harlow Carr Garden to explore the plants and how they are adapted to suit their environment. RHS Education Officers, Ruth and Janet, will lead your pupils on an exciting journey of discovery by getting up close to the plants in two completely different environments: alpine and sub-tropical. Through activities, interviews and role play we’ll investigate how the plants have adapted to these extreme environments and how that helps them survive and evolve.
