Learning About Desert Plants

Trudy and Margy, two plant experts from the Edgerton Park Conservancy visited our building with a variety of plants native to South Africa. 



The children saw a "great, great, great, great grandma" to the cactus. How is it similar to the cactus we know? How is it different?

Trudy and Margy brought in a variety of "euphorbias" for the children to observe. They explained that many people mistake some "euphorbias" for cacti. Two of the euphorbias that the children found most fascinating are the window pane plant and the rock plant.
