Chabot Space & Science Center Family Nature Adventures: Eco Gardening

Learn how to fight climate change by regrowing your food from seeds and scraps! We’ll teach you how to classify soil with fun hands-on chemistry experiments.

Discover the secrets behind amazing hydrophobic plants that perform amazing acts of science at the nanoscale. You’ll use microscopes and other scientific instruments to find the answers. Learn how scientists mimic these processes to make useful futuristic inventions.

Join us every 2nd Saturday for Nature Adventures where we’ll take a deep look into a different aspect of the surrounding redwood forest. Your adventure includes a hands-on workshop, access to scientific tools and instruments, a simple snack, and a short exploration work in the forest. We’ll explore themes like forest animals, insects, and trees to name a few.

In the event of poor weather, the workshop will be held indoors. Please enter via the observation deck rather than the main entrance.
