Project PLANTS Science Saturdays

• Saturday, February 10, 2018 – 9:00 am–12:00 pm

Get your fill on the science craze! Project PLANTS explores agriculture and horticulture sciences all year round with Science Saturdays—a Saturday morning science workshop to explore science concepts with hands-on projects and experiments! Join us to dive into topics such as water quality, photosynthesis, plant chemistry, animal science, local agriculture and more! Workshops are open to Project PLANTS members and middle school students.

The Colors of Nature

Plants have been used for centuries to create the hues in our fabrics and textiles. We 'll learn how to extract pigments from various plants and create our own dyes, as well as critically examine the textile industry today and how it effects our environment. Come away with a new appreciation for the array of colors we see every day!
