Six visitor areas offer exhibits and explanations of scientific and technological achievements, and even the chance to carry out experiments. Visitors will not only be able to view rare plants in the gardens, but also examine them under a microscope. There is also delicious grape juice on offer as part of a drive to promote healthy living.
