Fantastic Foliage and books

Description

It's time to get sculpturing and turn a flat piece of paper into fantastic foliage.

Stop by our family table and create your own plant or leaf using paper cutting and folding techniques such as weaving, curling, pleating, pinching and more. 

This is a fun activity for children and families to experience our exhibition, Cornucopia: gardens and gardening in South Australia. 

Like all keen gardeners we need to care for our plants, so once you have finished your fantastic foliage, add it to our garden trellis. Keep an eye on our socials to watch the foliage grow on the trellis and wall.
