Can you tell the difference between poisonous plants and safe plants? Discover how monks used plants and herbs at Kirkstall Abbey during the trail this May half term.

Wander though the abbey ruins looking for a variety of flowers, plants and herbs - each one is special! Some of them might have been used by the monks to heal a sore throat or to clean their teeth, some made the church smell nice, others were deadly poisonous.

You really don't want to mix them up! Discover which is which as you tick them off your list.
