Third International Fascination of Plants Day (FoPD) will take place from May 3-26, 2015 in over 50 countries around the world. In Ukraine, over 2000 institutions such as research centers, universities, botanical gardens and parks will host educational events about plant science, art, and biodiversity. Activities will include laboratory tours, experiments, museum exhibits, lectures, workshops and competitions to share knowledge about botany, genetics, agriculture and more with the public. Researchers, students and families can learn more about plant life at participating locations in cities like Kyiv, Kharkiv and Lviv as well as nature parks across Ukraine. The goal is to expand awareness of plant sciences and their importance through interactive public engagement activities.
