The Plant Project
Around the corner from The Oakfield, tucked in next to June’s Food Court, is a tropical habitat full of beautiful plants and flowers, some endangered in the wild.
As you step inside our specialised greenhouse, soak in the warm air, take in the many scents and follow the winding the path around the space to discover many beautiful species found here.
The Plant Project not only transports you to a tropical environment, but it also highlights the important role plants play and the important conservation work our teams are doing to help protect some of the world’s most endangered species.
