Science in the GardensJoin us Saturday, April 26, 2025, at the MSU Horticulture Gardens for hands-on activities, demonstrations, and explorations of the natural world.
Butterflies in the Garden (12:00 - 4:00 PM, Indoor 4-H Children's Garden)
Explore the butterfly life cycle, look at butterflies under microscopes, and spend time in the flight house with butterflies, chrysalises, and caterpillars.
The Science and Engineering of Rain Gardens (12:00 - 4:00 PM, Conservatory)
Visit the MSU Bioretention Research Facility and learn how rain gardens treat stormwater and prevent flooding. Investigate plant impact on water entry with infiltrometer measurements and soil moisture meters. Build your own infiltrometer and explore rain garden ecosystem services with the Bioretention EcoServices Scavenger Hunt.
Infinity in the Palm of Your Hand: How Writers See the Universe (1:00 - 3:00 PM, Conservatory)
Poets ask the same questions as scientists. Meet poets and writers from MSU and the Greater Lansing area as they share work inspired by the natural world. Take home writing prompts and discover opportunities for workshops, readings, and open mics.
