Wonderdomes is an interactive, outdoor activity that invites people all ages and abilities to explore the world of plants, through play and creativity.
Guided by friendly, knowledgeable hosts, visitors choose their own pathways through an open-ended, botanical treasure hunt that includes story-telling, drawing, painting and nature connection.
Twelve, beautifully crafted, knee-high, display domes are strategically placed
throughout a public garden, park or woodland. Each contains intriguing artefacts, plant life or miniature scenes that invite the public to come closer, observe deeply
and make field notes. Following their own curiosity and imagination, audiences uncover the astonishing details of local and exotic plants and experience the stories and wisdom of naturalists through the ages.
A sense of awe and respect for the natural world is at the heart of this offering, created
by award winning storyteller, Michele O’Brien, with artist Teresa Grimaldi and outdoor arts specialist, and co-founder of Playing Out, Amy Rose.
