Adaptation and biodiversity in the plant world.
Amazing adaptations
Experiences
From dry as a bone deserts to soggy bogs, plants have adapted to live in the most extreme habitats.
Students learn what plants need and the extraordinary lengths they go to for survival. While exploring habitats in the garden students discover how plants use spikes, funnels and traps to help get what they need where only the toughest survive.
Students will propagate their own hardy succulent plant.
