Katherine Hagman gave a welcome speech to attendees at Lansing Brewing Company.
Bethany Troy from the MSU Department of Horticulture led the presentation and explained the benefits of plants and their relationship to humans. Troy was approached by a friend that works with the MSU Science Festival to speak at “Plants, Propagation, and You!”
“I just want to reach out to people,” said Troy, perennial garden manager, “to help inspire them to maybe start a plant collection at home that could help them improve their lifestyle a little bit.”

“This event is all about the ways that interacting with plants and gardening can have a positive effect in your life,” said Katherine Hagman, assistant coordinator at MSU Science Festival.
Hagman said one of MSU Science Festival’s missions is to educate the public on ways and role STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts & Mathematics) disciplines play in everyday life and the skills that will shape the future.

Johnson attended “Plants, Propagation and You!” at Lansing Brewing Company
Elizabeth Johnson attended the event with her friend Kanna Lehmann, a Lansing resident. They were interested to know the effects of plants in daily life. Lehmann is excited to know more about the horticulture.
“I’m new to Lansing,” Johnson said. “I moved here recently so I’m definitely going to go and check out the horticulture gardens at MSU sometime during the Science Festival.”
