Saturday and Sunday, August 27-28, 2011
This weekend-long event will offer the public a rare insider’s view of The New York Botanical Garden’s Science campus.
Garden scientists will lead tours of the Pfizer Plant Research Laboratory and William and Lynda Steere Herbarium.
Briefings from the Field, a short lecture series featuring updates from the fieldwork of various Garden scientists, is open to the public Saturday at 2 p.m. in the Arthur and Janet Ross Lecture Hall
Garden scientists are working all over the world on plant-related studies ranging from working to preserve the endangered flora of Puerto Rico, to searching for lichens and mosses at the ends of the earth, to hunting for hidden pathogens in North America’s cranberry bogs, and to empowering junior high school girls through flowers. Come visit these beautiful and fascinating facilities (get a preview of the Pfizer Lab here) and hear the stories of discovery from the Garden’s scientists themselves.
