Help us make the ordinary extraordinary for children, young people and teachers.

Darwin saw the struggle for existence as ruthless, universal and ceaselessly shifting. His weed experiment makes the ordinary seem extraordinary when a patch of common plants become a cruel land where the struggle to survive is paramount, and competition rife. He brings alive the everyday dramas of our pavements, walls and back gardens.
