The Garden is a wonderland of shape and texture in November. Autumn berries burst with color, seedpods and fallen leaves showcase plant architecture, and whispering grasses make a fall walk come alive. New York Times science reporter Anne Raver recently visited Garden scientists Pati Vitt and Kay Havens to learn about the Garden's efforts to save Pitcher's thistle from extinction and tour the new seed vault in the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Plant Conservation Science Center. Read the resulting article on the debate over the assisted migration of plant species. The new Plant Science Center is open daily. Come see Garden scientists at work and learn about their labs through interpretive panels, interactive displays, and hands-on exhibits. |
