Plants and Gardens

Discover some unusual plant stories, make your own plant potion zine and try colouring sheets and seed bunting activities. Why not head off on a minibeast hunt and make a paper butterfly?

Make your very own woven textile creations inspired by the artwork cotton.com by artist Lubaina Himid, one of the works featured in Sunderland Museum’s recent Received Wisdom exhibition, a National Partners Programme exhibition from Arts Council Collection.

The team at Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens are passionate about plants…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use these colouring sheets to discover some of our favourite plants that grow in Mowbray Park and the Winter Gardens: We Love Plants Colouring Sheets

Why not colour them in with pencils, pens or pastels?

For an extra fun art challenge you could cut them out and stick them onto a background to make your own creative plant collage, adding different bugs and animals that pollinate and feed on the plants.
