Plantastic Sunday: The First Perky Plants of Spring

Gail Kahn, Neighbor

Celebrate St Patrick's Day with a look at the green starting to appear outside. Do you know any plants that can actually melt their way through snow? Come on a "signs of spring" scavenger hunt at the Wellesley College Botanic Gardens, and search the greenhouses for relatives of the shamrock.


Plantastic Days are a free monthly drop-in program for families to discover through art, culture and science just how fantastic plants can be. Hand-on activities, crafts and scavenger hunts will engage toddlers through grandparents. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
