The Science of Plant Smells
Scientists from The James Hutton Institute will be taking part in Science Festival at the Botanics to help visitors learn more about the Science of Plant Smells.
‘Scratch and sniff' to discover what lies behind the smell of trees such as Scots Pines - special chemicals which defend against herbivores and diseases. Come and see the ‘bio-mimicry' used in a raspberry beetle trap based on the colour and smell of raspberry flowers. There will be short talks at 12pm and 2pm.
The event is free and no booking is required.
