Magnificent winter greens will be the topic of the day when Brooklyn Botanic Garden presents a “Light in Winter Discovery” workshop on Jan. 19.
Children are invited to celebrate the sights and smells of evergreen plants, and find out how they retain their colors all winter long. Little ones will dig into the science of evergreen leaves, learn fascinating facts, and identify pine trees by counting their needles and sorting through a giant pinecone collection. Make a pillow of pine needles to take home, too.
“Light in Winter Discovery” workshop on Jan. 19 from 2 to 4 pm. Suitable for all ages. Free with admission.
Brooklyn Botanic Garden [1000 Washington Ave. at Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, (718) 623–7220; www.bbg.org].
