Preserving and Mounting Plant specimens are a good way to catalogue and learn about the plants around us. From cataloging the plant life in your area to keeping track of what you grew in your garden year over year.
Join the Royal Alberta Museum’s Assistant Curators of Botany and Quaternary Environments to learn how to mount plant specimens, how to clean seeds or fruit, and how these preserved plants are used in collections and research. Your prepped specimen will be kept as part of the museum core collections.
This workshop is open to anyone aged 12+, with no previous experience necessary. Participants under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
