Pahove chapter movie night

Join us Wednesday, October 14th at 6:30 p.m. for “Movie Night” at the MK Nature Center, 600 S. Walnut.
Following a brief business meeting, we will be showing the spectacular Nova Presentation of:
First Flower: Nova “First Flower”
Nova explores the evolution of blooming plants in this program that tags along with botanists on a hunt for the world’s first flower. Scientists follow clues from a floral fossil to China’s Hengduan Mountains, a gold mine of plant biodiversity. While experts make new discoveries in China, researchers at Britain’s Kew Gardens attempt to unravel the secrets of plant genetics to gain a more complete picture of the evolution of flowers.
