The greenhouse includes a tropical jungle and a large collection of cacti, succulents and orchids. Wander among the many ponds featuring native and tropical plants, waterfalls, koi, goldfish and trout. View plants from around the world in this five-acre site. The gardens abound in native wildlife, birds, and butterflies. The barnyard contains dwarf goats, Scottish Highland cattle, and Jenny the Hinny. Richard Tarbin leads the tour and shares his love and knowledge. Enjoy an authentic English Cream Tea after the walk, with homemade scones with Devon clotted cream and jam plus homemade European style pastries. Tips are acceptable at the English tea.

This class is an introduction to the history, basic buttons, and the iOS operating system of these devices. We hope to make you familiar and comfortable with this marvel of modern engineering. Topics will include learning the buttons, sliders, and finger gestures; what do all those funny symbols mean; how do we personalize these wonderful tools and toys and make them work. We will explore (a few) of the millions of apps which could make life easier and more fun. Please bring your own iPhone or iPad to class, and don't silence them when we start.

| What's in a Tide Pool: Life and Adaptations in the Rocky Shore Intertidal Zone |
| Presenter: Amanda Komarek |
Member tuition: $20.00 |
| Sessions: 1 F – 9/10/2021 |
Time: 10:30 AM-12:00 PM |
| Location: Seacoast Science Center, 570 Ocean Boulevard Rye, NH 03870 |
Life in a tide pool isn't easy! Physical and behavioral adaptations to challenging conditions created by changing tides, temperature, salinity, and fierce competition have resulted in some amazing and amusing critters. This program highlights the diversity of species found in a New England tide pool and shows students ways these organisms have adapted to life on the rocky shore. Students will see dramatic time-lapse images of the tidal cycle, learn about the distinct zones of the intertidal, get introduced to the many animals and algae found here, and discover some of the special adaptations that help these species survive a life dictated by the tides, both in and out of water! Videos, including how a sea star eats, urchin motility, and how lobsters molt will provide an engaging window to an underwater world and help bring marine science to life by making participants feel as though they are getting their feet wet and really looking beneath the water.
