Wildflowers Appearing at Logan Botanic Gardens

We all enjoy a summer beach trip but plants need to be tough to thrive year-round in a harsh seaside environment. Our new exhibition explains how delicate-looking beach flowers are among nature’s ultimate survivors.

Logan Botanic Garden is currently hosting the Wildflowers of sand and shingle beaches exhibition, which runs from mid-August through to the end of September 2022. Alongside the Garden’s wonderful palm trees, tree ferns and giant gunnera, visitors can discover more about the native flora that grows where the land meets the sea, and demanding conditions mean many plants have had to adapt to thrive.

To accompany the exhibition, a guide to common beach flowers has been published helping visitors to know their sea rocket from their biting stonecrop. The guide can be downloaded here or pick up a printed copy from local outlets.
