Join us for a day of discovery as we celebrate our passionate community of science experts committed to deepening the world’s understanding of plants—from how we explore the world to find and save them, to how we grow them with extraordinary care, to how we safeguard their future in the wild. Come see the science behind the beauty—and learn how you can join us in ensuring a beautiful tomorrow.
Action Stations 10:00 am–3:00 pm
Experience science in action with five interactive stations throughout our conservatories, designed for all ages.
- Near our Green Wall, explore the concept of floriculture and learn about the process behind growing our signature baskets, standards, and crops for display.
- On the Patio of Oranges in our East Conservatory, explore how we regenerate our resources by turning last season’s plant material into healthy, living soil.
- Enjoy two stations in the Exhibition Hall in our Main Conservatory, where you can delve into how we grow plants to save them, as well as connect with the living library of our plant collections.
