Science of Plants
May 21, 11-2 pm
Over 300 attendees explored the world of plants and got to meet expert botanists and gardeners. They learned about plant anatomy, tree rings, plant cells, and photosynthesis. They also got to make art with plants, watch plants play music, start a vegetable garden, and see carnivorous plants up close.
