The Hidden Chemical Ecology of the Garden: Why plants and animals sting, turn our tongues, and make us sick (Melanie Heckman, M.S. in Biology from Georgia Tech and Education Program Manager at the Wylde Center)
Tuesday, May 20, 10:30am-11:30am
Decatur Library Meeting Room
From humble tomatoes, bees, and thyme to exotic saddlebacks, milkweed, and fire ants, plants and animals use potent chemicals to subdue their prey, ward of competitors and predators, and stay alive. Discover the venomous, the poisonous, and the terrible-tasting plants and animals in the garden and their secret chemical lives. Learn how organisms make or obtain these chemicals, how they deploy them, and how it affects their victims. We’ll even address the age old (and fascinating) question of why exactly onions make us cry.
These classes are FREE and are open to everyone! All class are held at the Decatur Library.
Please share.
