As we get close to completion of the Plant Science Center, we took a behind-the-scenes tour of the building with Bill Brown, who oversees architectural planning at the Garden. The building was designed using materials and systems to earn a gold LEED certification for sustainable design from the US Green Building Council. Bill will tell us what that means and how he and his team made it happen. The Plant Science Center opens to the public on September 23, 2009. Visit www.savetheplants.org for more information.
