Today we visited the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva. We met with horticulturalists who showed us a garden of native flower species. Then we met with a biologist who specializes in invasive plant species. We also met with two scientists who are working on control methods of swede midges, a tiny insect who harms cabbage plants. 





On the way back to the Finger Lakes Institute, students collected plants and leaves to press onto T-shirts. Students also used the pressed plants from Monday to make a poster to show at the final ceremony for Kid's College.
