In the documentary Observer (2025, 95 min.), filmmaker Ian Cheney embarks on an experiment in which he brings a series of keen-eyed observers — scientists, artists, a hunter — to a range of locations around the world and asks them simply to describe what they see. What unfolds is a deep exploration and celebration of the power of observation. 
After the screening, pick up a free activity kit and embark on a self-guided tour through the Garden’s indoor conservatories. Along the way, you’ll encounter exploration activities designed to help you slow down, notice hidden details, and see our living collection in new and surprising ways.
