Expose yourself to the wide variety of gingers and meet their widely known associates through trivia, specimens as well as delighting your senses through touch and smell as we bring you up close and personl with gingers.

View the artful strokes by Ms Sandy Ross Sykes (UK) who exhibits her work on Gingers in full colour glory. Stretching four metres long and almost 1 metre high, these four panelled, full colour paintings will more than justify your journey to this exhibit.
