Botanical Gardens to hold children’s workshop on carnivorous plants

The UNC Charlotte Botanical Gardens will offer “Bugs Beware! Carnivorous Plants of the Carolinas” Saturday, July 19.

Designed for children age 7 to 12, the workshop will focus on the what, why, where and how of carnivorous plants in the Carolinas. Prospective attendees can register for two options – a 90-minute session that includes a Venus fly-trap or the two-hour session that features hands-on construction of a 12-inch bog dish garden with Venus fly-trap, pitcher plant, sundew and bog moss.

Sessions begin at 9:30 a.m. and cost $15 and $35, respectively. To register, email Paula Gross (pmgross@uncc.edu) with participant(s) names and workshop option; cash/checks accepted on the morning of the workshop.
