Cacti are tough. They can survive in the harshest conditions known, going without water and nutrients for long periods of time. They're not just tough! No, they are nasty too, with sharp spines to protect their precious reserves. The Kids in the Garden series encourages environmental stewardship and promotes a healthy lifestyle while the kids (and adults) enjoy discovering the science of our natural world. Each program includes hands on activities with project lists. Activity: Create A Succulent Garden.
