Explore Jr. Botany

And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” (Genesis 1:11)

Did you know there are over 369,000 flowering plants in the world? God created a wide variety of plants to produce after their kind. Explore Jr. Botany will investigate the beauty and design of the plant kingdom through interactive sessions and guided experiences in the museum gardens.

Explore Jr. is scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
