Carnivorous Plants of the Southeast U.S.

Will Rogers, research professional II, State Botanical Garden of Georgia

If you are amazed by carnivorous plants, you’re in legendary company; the great Charles Darwin also shared your passion and enthusiasm for them. This course will be a dynamic, hands-on experience getting to know various native carnivorous species and a few others from across the world. Learn about various prey capture techniques, unexpected symbiotic relationships, growing requirements, and genetic work conducted here at UGA. There will also be a feeding tutorial since some lucky participants will be going home with a carnivorous plant of their own!
