Beat The Heat: A Self-Guided Garden Adventure

How do plants survive when the temperature rises and water is scarce? Join us in August for a self-guided walk through the garden to discover the clever “heat hacks” plants use to beat the heat. From fuzzy leaves and water-storing stems to reflective surfaces and surprising ways to conserve water, each stop reveals a different adaptation that helps plants thrive in hot, dry environments.

Access the guide below, then head into the garden to see how many heat hacks you can discover!
