Your guide - Sol the talking sunflower
We told you this was no ordinary experience… and that starts with your guide. She will set you on your journey through the Earth Centre – and tell you what to look out for along the way.
Four different zones to discover
During your adventure, you’ll dig up amazing facts about plants, their properties and their importance to the environment and our life on earth. Here’s what you’ll find:
-
Land of the living
– a single shovel of soil contains more living things than every human ever born. Without them, there wouldn’t be any plant, trees or you and me.
-
The Hothouse
– find out why plants are the only living things that turn the sun’s energy into food – and unearth the mysteries of how they do it
-
The Aqua Chamber
– water is everywhere (well, it makes up most of our bodies), and it’s still one of the most precious substances on earth. Plus uncover the story of creatures under threat
-
The Ozone Area
– breathe in… if it wasn’t for plants, there wouldn’t be any oxygen, which would be bad news for every creature. See the freaky plants that can live in ice or hot springs.
