Visiting artist Jan Mun helps kids create a Wardian case, a simple terrarium historically used to transport living plants from the far corners of the globe to enhance the collections of botanical societies, and bring medicinal and agricultural plants to communities around the world. Learn the history of these beautiful structures while using repurposed materials to make your own, transporting a little bit of nature to your home.

Admission is free until noon on Saturday.
