SUMMARY:A Visit to the Seattle Amazon Spheres
DESCRIPTION:Wait List Full\n \nNHS has reserved time-slots for members and guests (up to 3+) for a self-guided visit to the Amazon Spheres. While this is an unguided visit\, knowledgeable docents are available to answer questions. The perfect event for a winter Saturday! \nRegistration Details:\nReserve a time slot between 10:00AM and 5:00PM \nRegistration will close November 3\, 11:59pm \nLIMIT:  70 (10 per SLOT\, MAXIMUM 4 PER REGISTRATION) – FEE IS PER PERSON \nClasses\, Tours\, Webinars\, and Lecture fees support both our virtual and in-person education programs as well as our community outreach grant and scholarship programs. \nThe Amazon Spheres kindly asks that you limit your visit to one hour in order to accommodate the maximum number of guests at a time. \nAmazon requires us to send a detailed list of registrants (including your guests) with first and last names no later than November 4. To accommodate this\, registration will close on November 3rd at 11:59 PM\, 11 days before the event. So\, we kindly request that you register for this event sooner than you would for our typical events. Please make sure to enter the first and last names of the person who will be attending the event (no exceptions). \nWhen you register\, please make sure to pick a single one-hour slot per person. \nBecause of the format of the tour\, we are using a feature in our registration system that we have not previously explored—allowing registrants to pick a specific time slot. Please make sure to select just one entry per person—no less\, no more. This ensures that you and your guests get the slot you intended to reserve. \nThe Spheres are home to more than 40\,000 plants from the cloud forest regions of over 30 countries. Not to be missed: the plant biodiversity packed into the 3\,400 square feet living wall. \n \n \n \n \nImages Courtesy Amazon Spheres \nhttps://www.seattlespheres.com/
