“We discover a new world every time that we see the earth again after it has been covered for a season with snow.” Henry David Thoreau in his Journal.
Last fall, the Plant Biology class took a field trip to the Glass Flowers exhibit at the Museum of Natural History at Harvard University. It’s a great place to study the characteristics of plants during the winter, and to learn to recognize economically important plants and the features of plant families.
