The Garden's Research Department

TEEN Volutneers Joab, Aline, Alexander, Maddy, Julia and Miette were able to tour the seed vault, herbarium and grow houses of the Garden's Research Department. While Alexander thinks he could never work with the numerous small seed specimens in the seed vault, Julia is ready to apply for a position, any position! Teen Contact Jeff was amazed to learn that the Garden's conservation greenhouse can also be home to confiscated plants from the police department. I'm glad you enjoyed learning about this part of the Garden and their important work!
