Which fruits are healthy for us humans and which ones should we rather keep our hands off? How do fruits and seeds spread and how do they differ in their structure? In this program, students examine different types of fruits with magnifying glasses and binoculars. On a field trip through the Botanical Garden, they learn about some of our native shrubs and explore the importance of shrubs and hedges as habitats for wildlife.
