One more week of our Plant Trail in Children's Library at Library of Birmingham . The challenge is to find all 9 photos of plants in our library and answer a question about each one. When you've found them all you can go up to the 3rd Floor Terrace gardens and see if you can spot the plants in real life, as they all grow up there, with lots of other herbs.
