The Brooklyn Children's Museum is in the process of developing a new exhibit about plants. The exhibit design includes both live plants and, in high traffic areas, fake plants. I am looking for suggestions of techniques for constructing fake plants (e.g. silk, cast plastic, etc.). The exhibits design accomodates abstraction, so I'm open to material suggestions that run the gambit from realistic to non-representational. Our primary concerns are safety, for handling by children, and durability. Thank you in advance for taking time to help out!
