LINCOLN
- The fall series of University of Illinois Extension’s Four Seasons
Gardening program, which focuses on environmental stewardship, home
gardening, and backyard food production, gets underway this month. |
The first session of the series is titled, Mysterious
Modifications: Plants That Grow in Unusual Ways. The program is
offered on Tuesday, September 27, at 1:30 p.m. Anyone who delves
into gardening or nature, comes across a plant that mystifies them
in how it has adapted to the environment it relies on. From the
insect eating carnivorous plants that grow in bogs, or invasive
plants that poison the soil to fend off competition, some plants are
truly wondrous. University of Illinois Extension Horticulture
Educator, Kelly Allsup, will reveal some of the most unique plants
we deal with, while giving you the newest and latest research on
them.
