Not saying it's a big greenhouse... but the plants have their own postcode. 😂🌿
I'm surprised nobody's sneaked in and planted their own 'special crops' yet... 👀
Any guesses where this is?

Last week we visited St Brelade’s Care Home in Neath, where we spent the afternoon introducing the residents (and staff!) to a handful of our animals! 🐍🦎🐌🕷️

Doing what we do, particularly through the Education branch of our roles, we’re well aware of the therapeutic benefits of animals. But seeing it in action never ceases to amaze us. Spending an afternoon amongst laughter, bonding and endless thought-provoking questions was an absolute treat for us.

We honestly couldn’t tell you who enjoyed it most - the residents, the staff, Lucy, Liz or Zilla.

A special thank you to St Brelade's for having us! We hope to come back some day very soon.

If you’re interested in learning more about our Outreach services for your workplace, school or care home, please email [email protected] and the team will be happy to help.

Yr wythnos diwethaf, ymwelsom â Chartref Gofal St Brelade yng Nghastell-nedd, lle treulion ni'r prynhawn yn cyflwyno'r preswylwyr (a'r staff!) i lond llaw o'n hanifeiliaid! 🐍🦎🐌🕷️

Wrth wneud yr hyn a wnawn, yn enwedig trwy gangen Addysg ein rolau, rydym yn ymwybodol iawn o fanteision therapiwtig anifeiliaid. Ond mae ei weld ar waith byth yn peidio â'n synnu. Roedd treulio prynhawn ymhlith chwerthin, bondio a chwestiynau diddiwedd yn wledd llwyr i ni.

Allwn ni ddim dweud wrthych chi pwy a'i mwynhaodd fwyaf - y preswylwyr, y staff, Lucy, Liz Neu Zilla ein Draig Farfog.

Diolch yn arbennig i St Brelade am ein croesawu ni! Gobeithiwn ddod yn ôl ryw ddydd yn fuan iawn.

Os oes gennych ddiddordeb mewn dysgu mwy am ein gwasanaethau Allgymorth ar gyfer eich gweithle, ysgol neu gartref gofal, anfonwch e-bost at [email protected] a bydd y tîm yn hapus i helpu.

This week we paid a visit to Dartmoor Zoo for the BIAZA regional conservation education meeting. To echo our friends at Educate with Exmoor Zoo, it was a great opportunity to share knowledge, ideas and plans for improving accessibility to education and SEND provision across our zoos.

Yr wythnos hon, fe wnaethon ni ymweld â Dartmoor Zoological Society ar gyfer cyfarfod addysg cadwraeth rhanbarthol . I adleisio ein ffrindiau yn Educate with Exmoor Zoo, roedd yn gyfle gwych i rannu gwybodaeth, syniadau a chynlluniau ar gyfer gwella hygyrchedd i addysg a darpariaeth Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol (ADY) ar draws ein sŵau.

We're very sad to share that last weekend we lost Haku, our much-loved Asian Water Monitor.

Haku was with us for nine years and had become part of the fabric of our Zoo. She was a favourite of both the staff and visitors of Plantasia and she will be missed.

Rest easy Haku 💚

Although the weather isn’t quite as “flaming hot” in Swansea this week we can offer some facts about our beautiful Brownea Coccinea (Scarlet Flame Bean). Found in the wild from the Windward Islands to Brazil this tree originally came from Kew Gardens when Plantasia was being built.

Various parts of the Brownea Coccinea have medicinal purposes and are used in Northwestern Guyana as natural remedies to treat some gynecological disorders, heavy bleeding, and respiratory issues.

Er nad yw'r tywydd mor "boeth iawn" yn Abertawe yr wythnos hon, gallwn gynnig rhai ffeithiau am ein Brownea Coccinea (Ffa Fflam Ysgarlad) hardd. Wedi'i chael yn y gwyllt o Ynysoedd y Gwynt i Frasil, daeth y goeden hon yn wreiddiol o Erddi Kew pan oedd Plantasia yn cael ei hadeiladu.

Mae gan wahanol rannau o'r Brownea Coccinea ddibenion meddyginiaethol ac fe'u defnyddir yng Ngogledd-orllewin Guyana fel meddyginiaethau naturiol i drin rhai anhwylderau gynaecolegol, gwaedu trwm, a phroblemau anadlu.

Happy birthday Kiwi! 🥝

Kiwi is one of our White-Cheeked Turacos. These turacos belong to the bird family Musophagidae, which translates to "banana eaters". And it’s true. She really does love a banana. 🍌

The white-cheeked turaco stands out with its vibrant green feathers, white face, and red beak. Notably, its red feathers can turn water pink when stirred into it.

Can you believe she is twenty-two years old? 🫢

📸 Lucy Williamson



Penblwydd hapus Kiwi! 🥝

Mae Kiwi yn un o'n Twracoiaid Boch Wen. Mae'r twracoiaid hyn yn perthyn i'r teulu adar Musophagidae, sy'n cyfieithu i "bwytawyr banana". Ac mae'n wir. Mae hi wir wrth ei bodd â banana. 🍌

Mae'r twraco boch wen yn sefyll allan gyda'i blu gwyrdd bywiog, ei wyneb gwyn, a'i big coch. Yn nodedig, gall ei blu coch droi'n binc dŵr pan gânt eu troi i mewn iddo.

Allwch chi gredu ei bod hi'n ddau ar hugain oed? 🫢
