Plants are a theme that develops not only in the direction of science but also explores other disciplines finding the scientific aspect in them. If the main purpose is to contribute to the construction of a solid scientific culture, an indispensable mean for conscious choice in the future, not secondary is the action for constructing a solid knowledge of the world of plants, from the single species to the evolution of the local population to the internal control mechanism. Some terms that are the foundation of scientific culture (the concept of time... biodiversity... the dynamics of the landscape) emerge from the research, together with those that bring us to think again of the management of the resources of the Planet (globalization, sustainable development). The work is not dictated only by epistemological statute, but rather it oscillates between it and the methodological statute offering young people also an experimental dimension which goes from exploring the territory to using microscope, from new technologies to the examination of documents in foreign languages, up to theatre.
