A1 Beyond the Trowel: Using Scientific Tools
in the Garden
Kitty Connolly and Rachel Vourlas, The Huntington
Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens,
San Marino, CA
Studies have shown that hands-on opportunities to use
real science instruments—such as microscopes and
nutrient meters—help children and youth to develop
their scientific skills and passion for plants.
Using
methods and designs from the Huntington’s awardwinning exhibition, “Plants are up to Something,”
participants will learn how to successfully integrate
science into dynamic, impactful garden-based
programming.
This lively workshop will be full of
hands-on opportunities and practical tips, plus
instructions and resources for introducing authentic
botanical science experiences into your program.
