Grow Your Botanical Knowledge
Learn about how plants interact with their environment, including different climates and their insect mutualists. We will bring plant specimens from the Plant Biology Conservancy to illustrate how plants can be adapted to different environments. We will also bring plants that will help illustrate plant-insect interactions, such as carnivorous plants, flowering plants, and ant plants. Kids can participate in a matching game to determine which plants go with which insects. We will also provide coloring pages with information on native Michigan plants that people can take with them.
