This week on Sunday I visited the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. The Flatbush Avenue entrance was closed due to construction so this time we went to the entrance adjacent to the Brooklyn Museum. It looked very modern and very clean. Right next to the entrance were the Gift-shop and the new Visitor Center. The space is reserved for education, with many panels for teaching visitors how to interpret the various labels and botany on exhibit. It even includes a guessing game where one player tries to guess what plant the other player is thinking of!

Going to the Botanical Garden made me think about how we were going to do the educational part of our project. We plan on going to Central Park next week so hopefully I’ll have the opportunity to learn something about New York City’s invertebrates. We also plan to do research on what we find for the co-authored paper. That will allow us to learn more about our findings and also pass on to other people the knowledge of NYC’s invertebrate wildlife.
