Logan Botanic Garden in Galloway is able to grow plants that would not survive elsewhere in Scotland. This is because Galloway has a mild climate due to the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream is a flow of warm seawater which passes the west coast of Scotland and brings warmer weather. Logan is seldom affected by frost or snow.

• Students could imagine they are planning to sail a ship along the Gulf Stream from the Gulf of Mexico to Scotland.
• Students could plot their course on a map, making sure that they always stay within the stream. -Students could also create a journal entry, describing the plants and animals they encounter in areas affected by the Gulf Stream which would not normally be found in those countries.
