Secret Lives of Plants

Did you know that some plants hire mercenaries for protection? Or that some plants can tap into their neighbors’ resources when they need them? Join Garden Guide Dana Kruser to explore the hidden world of plants and their fascinating adaptations and interactions with other organisms in their environment. As we visit different locations in the Gardens, we’ll see examples of many different types of interactions -- such as mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism -- and gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the hidden wonders of the natural world. Walks will be held rain or shine; please dress appropriately for the weather.
