Biology on a Budget: Microscope Slide Art

I’m obsessed with gardens right now.  A friend asked me to write grants for the Montessori school where she teaches.  (In another life, I wrote grants to support my high school science programs.) Gardens and Botany are essential parts of Montessori education.  I’m taking a deep dive into gardens.  I went to the Botanic Garden in D.C.  The photo below features microscope slides as art on the side of the Botanic Garden building, housing its green house.  Consider making your own art.  Focus on plant microscope slides (or any cool slide) and draw it.  I think a collage of several prints would make a great display—or at least an original art project.
