150 years ago, Charles Darwin published a theory so ground-breaking that it challenged everything people believed about life on Earth. 
 
2009 is the year of Darwin and marks a double celebration – not only is it 200 years since the scientist’s birth, but also 150 years since The Origin of Species was first published.

From the biological interactions between plants and insects, the zoology of nocturnal animals, the horticultural know how that goes into growing giant vegetables, the mathematical genius needed to lay pavers and the feats of construction that can go on in the shed, the backyard is full of science.
Scitech has created a travelling back garden, complete with garden gnomes, ants and a giant spider that will engage visitors with science and technology and enable them to continue discovering after they leave the exhibition.
