Darwin's Garden |
 |
Rafael Pi Roman hosts a half-hour look at a major exhibition at The New
York Botanical Garden chronicling Charles Darwin's lifelong fascination with plants and
flowers. It's called "Darwin's Garden: a Evolutionary Adventure."
While few people know about Darwin's deep interest in botany, it played
a powerful role in shaping his ideas. This show features an interview
with Pulitzer-Prize-winning biologist and author Dr. Edward O. Wilson
about Darwin's legacy; a walk through the Botanical Garden's re-creation
of his personal garden; a look at a gallery of papers, manuscripts, and
plants that tell a professional biography of the father of evolution;
and a children's exhibit that's introducing kids to Darwin's theories.
