<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Whitney Medium"">About the film: Through millions of years of evolution, the structures and processes of organisms have resolved many of the engineering
and environmental challenges facing the modern world–we just need to look, observe, and learn. This film puts forward the idea that botanical gardens are “idea libraries,” places where a wealth of these solutions have been assembled near the doorsteps of the
scientists, engineers, and designers tackling these issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
