Dangerous Plants at Mount Tomah

Tour the bog garden and take home a dangerous plant 

Australia is home to many fantastical, weird and wicked plants.

Plants exhibit amazing adaptations to harsh environments – they can deceive pollinators, trap and consume insects, produce defensive chemicals and even strangle one another in a competition for sunlight.

Explore the world of dangerous plants at the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden these school holidays. Join a workshop to create a carnivorous plant habitat, take a guided tour of the garden and learn about incredible adaptations for survival. 

Recommended for children aged 5–12 years with an accompanying adult.
