Carnivorous Plants of the Southeast US

If you are amazed by carnivorous plants, you’re in legendary company; the great Charles Darwin shared your passion and enthusiasm for them as well. This course will be a dynamic, hands-on experience getting to know various native carnivorous species as well as a few others from across the world. Learn about various prey capture techniques, unexpected symbiotic relationships, growing requirements, and genetic work conducted here at UGA. There will also be a feeding tutorial, since some lucky participants will be going home with a carnivorous plant of their own!

Carnivorous Plants and Their Habitats in the Southeastern US

Pitcher plants are some of the most spectacular carnivorous plants. In this class, you have the chance to be up-close and hands-on with many of those found right here in the southeastern US along with their other bog cohorts including sundews, bladderworts and Venus flytraps. Following a short classroom presentation, most of the time will be spent up in the nursery greenhouse area of Chattahoochee Nature Center where participants will begin to propagate many of these fascinating plants with expert assistance. There is no better way to learn about these special plants than through hands-on experience with experts who have decades of experience growing carnivorous plants.

Please note that this class is located outside of the Athens area.
