Visit the Dartmoor Conservation Garden on Sunday 6 September 2015 and enjoy a fascinating FREE mini moss and lichen safari with Jen Howard, Education Officer with Plantlife, the UK’s leading wild plant conservation charity.
Mosses are very small plants which absorb moisture through their leaves. They act like sponges and can absorb huge amounts of water. Lichens are made up of a mutual relationship between a fungus and an alga. The fungus forms the main body of the lichen providing protection for the alga while the alga manufactures food using the sun's energy.
Now 92, Zdenka Fantlova is one of the few living eye-witnesses to the horror of the Holocaust, to which she lost her entire family.
For as long as she lives Zdenka is determined to tell her inspiring story of great love, and of what happened in the Holocaust, to as many people as possible. The Tin Ring is a unique account of how a seventeen-year-old girl survived the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps.
An incredible story of human endurance and will power.
