Ethnobotany is the study of how people around the world use plants in their lives, both historically and in modern-day times. Plants have many significant uses, including use as medicine, food, shelter, tools, transportation, and religious purposes.

Join the Education Department at Fairchild in this workshop, sponsored by the Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center, as we explore the historical, cultural, and economic significance of plants through time. 

Open to K-12 Educators. Co-sponsored by the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. Made possible with support from LACC’s US Department of Education Title VI Grant.
