All Things Green

Plants, the only living organisms to manufacture their own food, provide so
much more than a beautiful backdrop to our daily lives. In addition to
supplying the world with oxygen, plants also produce shelter, food, and
medicine for creatures of all kinds. In this program, students learn all about
local plants and develop a new appreciation for trees, seeds and all things
green!
