Fluorescent Flowers Eves Hill Farm

All around the UK flowers are hiding all kinds of glowing secrets. Join us for a deep dive into the hidden colours, patterns and biofluorescence of flowers. A celebration of the unseen side of one of nature’s greatest source of beauty.

As well as exploring flowers and plants, we will also be discovering some of the small animals that rely on flowers for food and shelter, many of which hold their own biofluorescent secrets.

Biofluorescence is the absorption of light at one wavelength followed by its reemission at a different wavelength. Shine the right type of UV light on the world, and it glows back at you in a vibrant display of colour.

UV torches will be provided to everyone as we venture into the darkness together to see which biofluorescent organisms we can find on our journey of discovery. Biofluorescence turns the world of colour upside down; green leaves suddenly become a vivid red, spiders bright blue, lichen an intense orange and another, glowing side of the natural world is revealed.

Don’t miss this opportunity to delve into the enchanting world of biofluorescence and uncover the wonders that await in the darkness. Join us for an unforgettable experience that will open your eyes to the breathtaking beauty of nature’s hidden secrets. Book your spot now and get ready for an awe-inspiring adventure!

This guided walk is suitable for anyone aged 12 years and above, all children must be accompanied by an adult. No dogs allowed. Please come prepared with warm clothing as the pace of the walk is slow. We recommend sturdy shoes as the terrain is uneven, and wearing trousers to avoid stinging nettles.
