Galleries & Gardens: Applying Museum Education Strategies to Botanical Learning
Claire Enerson (‘27) is an Anthropology and Italian Double Major, and a Museums concentrator. She works at the SCMA as a Student Museum Educator.
What if museum education strategies used on artworks could also apply to plants?
At Smith College, two student educator groups work to engage visitors with collections on campus. The Student Museum Educators lead K-12 school group tours in the SCMA galleries and the Botanic Garden Student Educators support student involvement in Lyman Plant House. I organized a collaborative workshop with these two cohorts in February.

At the end of January 2025, billions of people across the world, from China to Vietnam to
