Pollination Investigation
June 2 - July 26
Pollinators are like nature's artists. Without them, 90% of the world's flowering plants would not be able to survive. Learn more by exploring the exhibit, Pollination Investigations created by Smithsonian Gardens. Make a tissue paper flower while you are here to plant in one of our garden plots, then come back to see what changes happen to our indoor habitat.
You can create natural habitat in your yard too! Pick up information from partner organizations on how to get started creating a more colorful world.
Ohio Women Vote: 100 Years of Change
August 5 - September 26
Ohio Women Vote commemorates the 19th Amendment, certified in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. This traveling exhibit from the Ohio History Connection celebrates more than a century of women’s activism, demonstrating that the 19th Amendment was not the end of making their voices heard, but the beginning. Voting enabled women to further their education, pursue careers, change laws, create social service and cultural organizations, and run for office themselves.
