Plants Are Up To Something


“Plants Are Up To Something” at the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens stands out as an example of how an exhibition can provide extraordinary experiences. Its central component, “Real Plants, Real Tools, Real Science,” grabs audience attention and provides an ideal framework for eradicating visitors’ congenital “plant blindness”—the fact that most people don’t see or know about vegetation. Smart interactive stations, such as Different Smells for Different Pollinators, gives elementary schoolchildren an opportunity to use scientific apparatuses to explore in a fun and safe atmosphere.
