Attached to the Climatron Tropical Rain Forest at the St. Louis Botanical Gardens is a lovely interactive space for children called the Brookings Exploration Center. It's home to a handful of interactive spaces that educate participants on the ways of plants from germination to death and decay. Beautifully designed, it's an excellent way for concrete and kinesthetic learners to grow.
The display shared how trees age and how they die from within.
There was a video presentation depicting the emergence of seedlings from the Botanical Garden's archives going back to the 1930's
Another display allowed little ones to go up inside a hexagonal-shaped terrarium and see the roots forming.
Ancient roots suspended overhead.
My friend, and host.
