EVENT OVERVIEW

Love plants or curious about how they grow? The Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences at Edinburgh University is responsible for groundbreaking research into improving plant health, growth and resilience by gathering insights into plant biology.

Join staff and researchers for a guided tour of the university’s cutting-edge plant sciences labs and the Edinburgh Plant Growth Facility, including their innovative Grodome and glasshouses.

This is a unique opportunity to explore modern plant sciences in action and meet the people behind it. You don’t need to have any prior knowledge; this day is open to all.

We will also have lunch at the university with an informal Q&A session with researchers.

ABOUT Still Caring

As part of its Still Caring programme, Care for Carers runs a free series of events throughout the year, giving carers a short break from their caring roles and the opportunity to enjoy the company of other carers.

During these events we explore the cultural, artistic and natural aspects of life in and around Edinburgh.

Occasionally an event is open to both the carer and the caredfor person to come together; these are always clearly indicated. Minibus transport is usually provided for events further afield. Please note that some events may have limited availability.

Further details on the Still Caring programme can be found here.
