July 13, 2013: Plant Explorers
UBC Botanical Garden is filled with fascinating plants of all shapes and colours! Become a plant explorer for the day ? hunt for flowers of different types and leaves of various shapes, then create your own plant press to preserve the treasures you have found. Take home the skills and supplies you need to create your very own pressed plant collection.

July 27, 2013: Precious Water
Water is so precious, for us and for many other creatures. Dive in for an adventure as we discover aquatic organisms by carefully catching and identifying amazing pond inhabitants. We will also create a miniature wetland to test the natural filtration capacity of these habitats.

August 10, 2013: Animal Neighbours
How well do you know your neighbours? No, not the people next door, the wildlife kind! Come learn about our animal friends who live so close to us in forests and parks around Vancouver. Venture into the Garden and find habitats frequently used by our animal neighbours. Learn to recognize their tracks and take home some tracks you will make yourself.
