Spooky Plants

Activity

Every day: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The most frightening plants are under study: spiky, monstrous, shadowy, toxic, carnivorous. Uncover the secrets hiding behind their spooky appearance!

Blandine, a sweet little pattypan squash, would just love to be as scary as her illustrious ancestors, the Halloween gourds. But to pull that off, she’ll have to face her own fears on a journey filled with humour and odd encounters!
