6 Jun (Sat): NSS Kids’ Fun with Plants that Grow on Other Plants

Do you know that Singapore has several of our own species of wild mistletoes (yes, the same one that people kiss under during Christmas) that typically grow on the branches of tall trees? Learn about mistletoes and other plants that grow on trunks and branches (ie. epiphytes and parasites), and see them flourishing wild at eye-level in the garden of a classic black-and-white bungalow near Sembawang Park. Margie Hall, NSS Honorary Secretary and professional nature guide, whose house we would be visiting, will personally give us a fun-filled introduction to these fascinating plants, with insights to their peculiar survival strategies.

Please register your kids (4 to 12 years old) at gloria_seow@yahoo.com, stating their names and ages, if you are a NSS member or not and your mobile number.

A fee of $5 per child (member) or $10 per child (non-member) will be collected on the spot. Parents can sit in at no charge.

Details will be emailed to those who sign up.

Time: 8-10am at a Private garden at Sembawang Park.
