Think plants are passive victims of insect attacks or other herbivory? No! Plants have evolved all manner of strange and wonderful adaptations that enable them to withstand the onslaught of those who would eat or exploit them. Elizabeth will take you on a journey through New England and beyond that introduces you to the innovative defenses of plants. We’ll even explore how your herbs can be more pungent and flavorful when you act like an herbivore. Members $10 / Non-members $12 Please call to register.
