With Scott LaGreca, Paul J. Kramer Plant Collections Manager at Duke Gardens
This interactive program will combine the scientific and artistic aspects of plant specimen preservation. Participants will learn the process of creating herbarium specimens, from plant collection and pressing to proper mounting techniques, including exploration of historical practices. Through hands-on activities, attendees will gain an appreciation for both the scientific and aesthetic value of preserved plant specimens in museum collections and everyone will leave with a prepared plant specimen from the Duke Gardens plant collection.
