PALM READING OBSERVATION STATION
Developed for a museum public program on urban street botany, live specimens of plants commonly seen as epiphytes growing on Canary Island Palms were displayed on a tripod mounted circular table graphic. A spotting scope fitted with a digital screen accompanied the display, enabling observers to explore the aerial plant life growing on nearby street palms at magnified scale.
