Beginning Botany
with Alexandra Holland
Tuesday, August 26  |  1 - 4pm
BRN - Core  |  BREG - Core
It’s a tough life for a plant: make dinner, create and nurture offspring, fight off predators, deal with the neighbors. In Beginning Botany we’ll explore how plants handle these daily challenges using and modifying only leaves, stems, and roots. We’ll cover the basics of plant structure and function.
