Plant Press Contest

Do you know your plants?

BCIT Instructor Julia Alards-Tomalin created Plant Press, a plant identification card game. 

Every day at 9am during Sci-Lit week we'll be posting one of Julia's illustrations from the game on https://www.instagram.com/bcitlib/

Identify the plant with a comment by 8 pm that day for one entry. For an extra entry provide the plants Latin name in a separate comment.

At the end of the week we'll make a random draw from all the correct entries and the winner will receive a super Sci-Lit prize pack (valued at over $100) provided by BCIT Applied Research Liaison Office.

If you planted some seeds from the Seed Library last spring or summer and took some photos we'd love to see them and post them to our Seed Library guide!

Email your photos to agriffin11@bcit.ca - don't be shy, send us the good, the bad and the ugly!

At the end of the week we will make a random draw from everyone who emailed for  a super Sci-Lit prize pack (valued at over $100) provided by BCIT Applied Research Liaison Office.
