Plant-Based Pandemonium at The Eden Project!

The Eden Project has called upon Dennis & Gnasher to help grow the totally-not-made-up and 100% genuine plant, the Peruvian Sausage Orchid, (Editor's note: It IS made-up!), for their big garden show. (It's basically the rock star of the natural world, but requires the right environment, food, water and heat to grow correctly). Dennis and Gnasher are very excited to get started on this botanical adventure but need an extra pair of hands for the trickier parts – do you have what it takes? Let's take this horticulturally challenging quiz and find out if you have green fingers!

There’s still time to go wild with Beano at the Eden Project until Sept 4th and help Dennis and friends save Eden from the dreaded CO₂-Zilla!
