Wheaton Greenhouse Open House

Greenhouse Open House and Repotting Clinic
Monday, December 9, 2013
11am to 2pm
Mars Center for Science and Technology, Greenhouse, 4th floor

Come
browse through the state-of-the-art Wheaton Greenhouses and enjoy the

blend of technology and beauty. Walk from the Rainforest to the Desert

and then to the Temperate environment and see what each climate has to

offer to our senses and the plants that live there. See orchids in

bloom, cotton on a cotton bush, succulents galore and primitive Cycads. The greenhouses sport automatic shade curtains,

fully electronic controls, growth chambers for environmentally monitored

plant growth, and a rooftop weather sensor.
Bring along a pot bound

plant for expert assistance in repotting. Soil and non-decorative pots

are available on site. Donations accepted to cover cost of materials.
