Explore our free display The Plant That Stowed Away, then let your imagination blossom in our Learning Space with free activities designed by artist Hellen Songa. You'll learn about herbs and community gardens in Liverpool and create your own herbal dream pillow or herbal wand to take home. Make your own plant or flower and add it to our paper flower garden.
There will also be natural painting workshops on 20 and 21 February from 13.00-15.00. Create a painting inspired by nature using soil, natural dyes and plants.
Our Learning Space is open every day for visiting families- a space to relax and create with art games, colouring-in, books, toys and more!
Share your experience with us on social media using @tateliverpool and #TLfamilies.
