Lunch & Learn: What’s in a Name?
Learn how names allow us to trace plant origins and characteristics and inform how botanists and gardeners engage with plants, and why the words we choose change what we notice in the landscape.
Explore why flowers have distinct scents, and why plants produce smells in the first place by examining how plants communicate and protect themselves. We’ll also investigate the remarkable ways plants perceive their surroundings—sensing, responding, and moving in ways that are largely invisible to humans. This interactive presentation will include demonstrations of plant behavior.
