Some people look at the UBC Herbarium and they see only thousands of dried plants stuck on sheets of paper. That would be wrong. The Herbarium is an enormous machine that travels in both space and time!

Geographer David Brownstein will tell you how the herbarium came to be 100 years ago, and teach you how to drive this machine yourself. During the session you will match original herbarium sheets with photographs from early 20th century plant collecting trips. You will also learn everything you need to construct your own herbarium at home.
