DISCOVER DISNEY FAIRIES AND MEAT EATING PLANTS AT THE BLUE MOUNTAINS BOTANIC GARDEN
Children visiting the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden this summer will be the first in the world to find Disney Fairies at the bottom of the Garden! The Blue Mountains Botanic Garden is one of only four botanic gardens across Australia using a new ‘Disney Fairies Trail Augmented Reality’ app. From 30 November 2014 until 28 February 2015 kids can use the free app to discover and play with Tinker Bell, Fawn, Rosetta, Iridessa, Silvermist and Vidia and experience them in enchanting augmented reality on the magical trail around the Garden. The Disney Fairies will flutter among the pretty garden beds, magical tree rings, ponds and landmarks. Children will receive a free booklet with Disney Fairy activities as well as a ‘collector passport’ within it which can be used to mark-off their Disney Fairy finds. Every child who collects Fairies via the app can also collect a free Disney Fairies’ packet of seeds from the visitor information desk. The Garden will also be selling special Disney Fairy goody bags.
Magical in their own way are the amazing carnivorous Plants With Bite! Delve into the sticky world of meat-eating plants at this plant fair with a difference! Over many thousands of years these incredible plants have evolved ways to trap and digest insects and other animals when they can’t get enough nutrients from their environment. See if you can spot the trapping mechanisms on the carnivorous plants in our spectacular display. But don’t get too close…these are plants with bite! Fair includes the display, plant sales, information sessions and documentary screenings. Saturday 6 December – Sunday 14 December from 9.30-5pm in the Visitor Centre. Free entry.
