Or are you unsure how to begin your own garden at home? Having a hard time figuring out what the pH levels of your soil is telling you? Join us at OMSI After Dark: Homegrown if you’re wanting to take your home garden up a notch or if you just love supporting Oregon’s farmers. What to Expect: OMSI After Dark is a monthly event for guests 21 and over to explore the museum with a beverage in hand. On top of being able to roam the museum without minors, the added bonus of these events are the curated vendors and lectures relating to the monthly theme. The Planetarium will be hosting four shows, and the Featured Exhibit is open at an additional cost. This month’s vendors and lectures will relate to Farming but there will not be an exhibit about it. Check out the list of vendors below to see who is coming! Visit the Theory Restaurant during happy hour! Happy Hour is from 5-6pm for ticket holders in the Theory Restaurant.
