Carnivorous Plants of the Southeast U.S.

Saturday, June 6 | 9:00 am 1:00 pm

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

If you are amazed by carnivorous plants, you’re in legendary company; Charles Darwin shared your passion and enthusiasm for them as well. This course will be a dynamic, hands-on experience getting to know various native carnivorous species, as well as 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!
