Tropics to Table

Many of our favorite foods - bananas, coffee, papayas, vanilla, and more - are found in rainforest habitats! Visit the Rinard Orchid Greenhouse for a self-guided activity about the plants in our collection that grow foods we like to eat. Then, head into the Nature Lab to sample dishes made by BSU culinary students, composed of tropical ingredients, some of which were sourced from the Rinard Orchid Greenhouse!
