On the trail of plants that have disappeared forever

Endangered species, fossils, extinct plants... Come and investigate with us in Geneva's herbaria.

When we talk about "extinct plants", we can be talking about several things: plants that no longer exist on the planet, plants that have disappeared from a region, plants that are only known in fossil form... Let’s discover all these mysteries!
This workshop is part of the Geneva Botanical Garden’s Ateliers verts series.
On Wednesday afternoons, children are invited to share our passion for the world of plants and botany in a fun and educational way. Themed investigations, sensory discoveries, botanical explorations, and many other activities are included in the programme. These workshops are carried out in the heart of our living collections by our curators, gardeners and scientists, in collaboration with volunteers from Uni3, Geneva's University for Seniors.
