Arnold Arboretum

We visited the Arnold Arboretum and Donna Tremonte, an applications programer, showed us how the arboretum uses GIS to map over 15,000 plants! Donna explained to us what GIS is, how you use GIS, how to use the arboretum's interactive map and how she got involved with plants and GIS. When she finished, we went to the visitors center and then walked around the arboretum. Is was REALLY cold out but we hunted and found the arboretum's tree of the month - a Dawn Redwood. We had lots of fun and learned a lot. THANKS DONNA!

Credit to everyone for the awesome pictures!

BIG E!

 Plant A Smile had a lot of fun at the Big E! We did lots of fun things, like stay in the dorm, see galaxy girl, go on elephant rides, and a lot more. We ran out of Alka Seltzer at the end because we had so many visitors! Did you know... The Big E, also known as The Eastern States Exposition had over  1 million visitors this year. It is the sixth largest fair in the whole nation! Hopefully we get the opportunity  to go back next year!

Exited to leave!
