Budburst is a community science project hosted at the Chicago Botanic Garden. We run several research projects that focus on plants, climate change, and plant-animal interactions. Anyone can participate in Budburst! All you have to do is observe plants near you. Join us for this introductory webinar where you'll hear about Budburst's research projects, learn how to participate, and have any questions answered by the Budburst team.
