TO keep the children entertained this half-term come along to Dyffryn Gardens and explore its 55-acre grounds.

The theme for 2015 is plant hunting and they will have lots of plant-related activities for your family to take part in. You can create your own mysterious and exotic flower, plant some vegetable seeds to eat later in the season and discover the spring buds and flowers.

Back by popular demand is their make it Mondays and 50 things Wednesdays. Get wonderfully messy and creative on Monday 16 and let them clean up all the mess.

Take part in an outdoors 50 things activity on Wednesday 18 to get some fresh air and get back to nature. There may be a suggested donation for these activities. Normal admission price applies.
