Plantastic Days

Once a month, we’re hosting a free program for families to discover through art, culture and science just how fantastic plants can be. Hands-on activities, crafts and scavenger hunts will engage everyone from toddlers to grandparents.

Drop in any time between 1:00 and 4:00 p.m. to explore the theme of the month.

Can’t make it to a Plantastic Day?
Don’t worry – some of the activities will be available in the greenhouses and Visitor Center during the weeks afterward for the family to enjoy.

Scented Plants: Sunday, April 28, 2013

Most of us know why a flower smells good … but why do the leaves of certain plants have strong smells? Search for these scented plants and see what you think they smell like! Explore the science of scent. Plant some herbs to take home.
