More details
As we welcome in the May flowers, the Science History Institute is celebrating the amazing chemical powers of plants
Stop by to learn how plants become the clothing in our closets and the drinks in our cups or make your own botany book to help distinguish between what’s medicine and what’s poison! The library team will also showcase a selection of rare books on medicinal plants. Celebrate the living chemistry of spring and leave with a deeper appreciation for the plants that have clothed, healed, and inspired us for generations.
