New Look at Dundee's Botanic Garden

Photo opportunity: 10.00am, Thursday 18 March, Visitor Centre, University of Dundee Botanic Garden, Riverside Drive, Dundee.

Sixteen staff at University of Dundee's Botanic Garden are getting a new look thanks to sponsorship from local horticultural company, Lows of Dundee. Lows have provided the new uniforms to make sure that staff are instantly identifiable to visitors to the Garden who need any help or assistance.

The public can meet the staff in their new uniforms during the normal Garden's opening hours or by attending the Family Fun Day on Saturday 24th April where interactive workshops for children and parents will be taking place promoting the importance of plants in our everyday lives.

There is also change in the Garden's coffee shop where newly appointed manager, Shona Romanowska is set to launch a number of initiatives including a mother and toddler group and children's parties.
