What do seeds, soil, roots and rainwater teach children? Quite a bit, as the Museum of Solutions&rsquo; (MuSo) Grow Lab demonstrates. Reopening after its seasonal monsoon break, the rooftop <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai-guide/things-to-do/article/new-imagine-india-episode-explores-the-link-between-people-nature-and-conservation-23658876" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">nature-learning</a> space is inviting children between the ages of four and 14 years to understand how living things grow, survive, and interact.

With the reopening the experience is divided into three interconnected zones &mdash; Ecosystem, Solutions of Nature and Sustainability. While the first two enable them to understand the relationships between the natural world and its surroundings, and how they function; the sustainability zone introduces practices such as rainwater harvesting, growing plants without soil, and converting organic waste into useful resources.
Susan Vaidyan, head of education, Museum of Solutions, said &ldquo;The ecosystems children read about in their textbooks come to life here, and they can see how each part depends on the others.&rdquo; She added that exhibits on hydroponics, vertical farming and <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/mumbai-bmc-to-set-up-rainwater-harvesting-systems-at-five-civic-properties-in-mulund-ghatkopar-23652889" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">rainwater harvesting</a> demonstrate how food can be grown while conserving water and land. It is a perfect way for children to learn that their best friends in the future can be found in nature.
