Today, the pond that was at the center of the rose garden is now used for pond study programs and research through the Environmental Interpretive Center.  It serves as a "natural" aquatic habitat where many different species of aquatic organisms live and can be studied by students of all ages.  Below are pictures of some of the classes that have come and studied our pond.  What organisms can you observe living in our pond?  Do you think our pond is a healthy or unhealthy habitat?
