CSUF Biology Greenhouse Tour
The April 27th 2019 LACPS meeting will be held at the California State University Fullerton Biology Greenhouse Complex from 10:00 to noon.
What to Expect
The Biology Greenhouse Complex (BGC) provides space and facilities to teach labs and conduct research. Hidden behind a perimeter of brick wall and unknown to many non-biology students, the complex includes four glass houses, a lath house, a head house, and a large outdoor area. It also houses a diverse collection of plants for use in the biology lectures and labs. Hundreds of students pass through the greenhouses each semester as they learn about plants and biodiversity. Edward Read, the greenhouse manager, and his assistants are constantly working to maintain the grounds and the diverse plant collection.
Where to Go
The BGC is located just west of McCarthy Hall. The entrance is near the middle of the east perimeter wall. See the CSUF campus map or the pin on the OpenStreetMap map above.
The greenhouses are north of entrance 2.
Please be aware that this is mainly a walking/standing event. There are limited chairs. Children also must be attended at all times.
Sales and Trades
Plants are welcome for show or sale, as always. The meeting starts and ends on time.
