We love plants! Join us for the fourth international Fascination of Plants Day.

From one little seed, many green lives can arise – from small herbs to big trees, from ornamental flowers to the crops that animals and humans need to survive. Plant biologists estimate there are about 250,000 plant species on Earth.

Learn more about plants with our scientists and hands-on activities right here in the Museum!
