Workshop: Anatomy of a Leaf

Leslie McDermott, Neighbor

Laura Vogel, Brookside Staff



Gain a new appreciation for
leaves this fall! Learn about the scientific principles behind leaves’ fall
color, habits and functions while creating leaf “skeletons”. Through a heating
process, we’ll be able to strip away the tissue of leaves, allowing only the
intricate veins to remain. These skeletonized leaves are the basis for
innumerable crafts, right in time for the holidays!
