Plants & Me invites young learners to explore the ways in which people use and interact with plants in our everyday lives, and to discover what things plants need to survive in their habitats.
Plants are all around us – we see them in parks and gardens, dotted along walkways and parking lots, and even on our plates! Over the course of this program, a Cleveland Botanical Garden instructor will guide students as they learn a plant parts dance, discuss their favorite plants to eat, and discover other ways in which people – and animals – use plants every day.
