Family Program: Flower to Fruit: A Pollination Journey (On-site Drop-in Program)

Lilly Andersen, USBG Family Education Specialist
Join Lilly to investigate the differences in plants before and after pollination, including in our beloved state flowers! In this drop-in program, dissect a flower to learn about its different parts and how these components attract and interact with pollinators. Watch a fruit dissection demonstration to see how flowers develop into fruits after pollination. Discuss your state flower and the fruit it can turn into after pollination – some of them are edible, and some are not! 

This program is connected to our current display “America’s State Flowers: An America250 Celebration.”
