The golden dinosaur is the main attraction in a garden makeover that looks set to inspire young ecologists, Mary Richards writes

Not only that, but the museum’s overlooked wildlife garden has been transformed into a living outdoor exhibit, where young people can enjoy practical lessons in biodiversity while museum scientists study urban nature using the latest technology.
