  Killer Plants!
 This program teaches students the unique ways in which carnivorous plants obtain nutrients and how protection of these special plants is so important. How does a Venus Flytrap know when to close? How do Pitcher plants "eat" their prey?

Beginning August 2006, there is a $2 per participant  fee in Garden educational programs to cover programming  costs. In case of limited resources, please contact Carolyn Altman at 912.486.7816.
