If time permits, the visit will conclude with a tour of the molecular biology laboratory and the herbarium at the Console.   IMPORTANT: MEETING TIME: 1:45 PM MEETING POINT: At the main entrance of the Botanical Garden, Place Albert-Thomas Meeting point map   The Jardin botanique of Geneva website   Please note that parking in the area is limited and can be difficult to find.   Depending on availability, some parents may be allowed to accompany the girls.
