OUTSIDE THE GREENHOUSE The greenhouse’s features extend outside its doors to a public demonstration garden. The Herb and Terry Lewis Demonstration Garden will be situated in front of the greenhouse just off the double helix trail at McMillian Park. The garden will be constructed in 2023. The garden will feature a mixture of native plants, research plants that are also growing inside the green- house, as well as several carefully designed educational exhibits to offer the public a hands-on learning experi- ence. That way, the public can explore and admire the plants HudsonAlpha researchers are studying. For more information, visit the greenhouse tour at Kathy L. Chan Greenhouse Tour or read more at the Everyday DNA blog ■
