For the next three months, the Cleveland Botanical Garden will be hosting a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian, called Life in One Cubic Foot. This exhibition focuses on biodiversity, something CBG already does in its exhibits such as its Madagascar and Costa Rica glasshouses. But this one takes a different approach.
It consists of so-called “biocubes” — a cubic foot of soil or water. The cubes in the exhibit were placed at varied locations around the globe —and at Holden Arboretum in Kirtland — to discover what life forms appeared in them over a 24-hour period. It’s based on research by scientists from the Smithsonian as well as Holden Arborteum and photography by David Liittschwager, to uncover the diverse life that even a small patch of earth or section of water can hold.
The exhibit is free with regular admission, so you can catch the Orchid show and all the regular exhibits while you’re there.
