naturalistic exhibit for young children. We our looking for a good source of
fake plants for an immersive, naturalistic exhibit for young children. We are
interested in grasses, large plants, trees and cattails, preferably, all from
North America. We are looking for a product that is non-toxic, durable, and
cleanable. Also, does anyone have advice on the use of plants in an exhibit
that they would like to share?
