Public Tour: From the Garden to 3D Models: Discovering the Hidden World of Plants

Want to go to another BO?

Have you ever wondered what tiny fruits can tell us about millions of years of plant evolution?

Join Dr. Maria-Anna Vasile on an interactive journey through the garden to explore the fascinating world of Boraginales—a remarkable group of plants that includes the familiar forget-me-nots as well as many other surprising species you may have walked past without ever noticing.



Along the way, you’ll discover the incredible diversity hidden within these plants and learn how scientists use cutting-edge microCT scanning to transform their tiny structures into breathtaking 3D models, revealing details invisible to the naked eye. See the garden through a whole new lens and experience how modern technology is helping uncover the secrets of plant evolution.
