What the Nose Knows: Birds Do It, Bees Do It

Matt Osokwski, Biologist at WRA, Inc., and wetlands and California Native Plants expert, leads a walking tour of the California Garden focusing on fragrant plants, flowers and pollination.

Why not give your eyes a break and let your nose lead you instead through the labyrinth of flowers, bushes, herbs and trees? What the Nose Knows is a series of unique, interactive scent-based experiences of the Botanical Garden. Each event features a talk or walking tour with a scent expert in different sections of the Garden. Hosted by the Olfactive Scent Institute (http://olfactive.wordpress.com/the-institute/).

Free with Garden Admission, limited to 30 people. Gather at the Garden entrance just before 1 p.m.
