On Saturday 7 November, staff have organised a guided walk through the Waun Las National Nature Reserve, where the waxcaps flourish.

This time of year, you'll find colourful waxcap fungi and colourful foliage across a network of small copses.

The National Botanic Garden's 440-acre organic working farm was designated a National Nature Reserve by the Countryside Council of Wales in 2008.

The walk starts at 2pm and is being led by Bruce Langridge.

If the rain continues, it may be muddy in places...
