I found this class listed on the following web page
<http://www.gardens.com/class/cl-jan98.htm> and I signed up for it. I
wonder how many classes like this are taught every year? There are only two
people signed up as of yesterday so it sounds like a very one-on-one class,
but I'm sure it would be more informative and fun if there were others.
Looking forward to seeing some of you there. :-)

The World of Carnivorous Plants: Natural History, Propagation, and Cultivation
Carnivory or insectivory among the plant kingdom is a highly
specialized survival adaptation that evolved in widely unrelated plant
families. Participants in this seminar will explore the rich natural
history of the world's diversity of carnivorous plants. We will study their
distribution and explore their native habitats, evolution, ecology, and
adaptations to carnivory. Passive and active methods of capture and
digestive mechanisms will be featured and studied.
Percipients will also learn how to propagate and grow carnivorous
plants through hands-on demonstrations and discussion. Various topics will
be addressed, including hybridization, pests and diseases, watering
requirements, and indoor and outdoor cultivation. This is a hands-on
workshop. The instructor will bring live plants for display and will show
slides. Participants will tour the UCSC Arboretum's carnivorous plant
displays.
Instructor: Brian Jeffers, owner and manager of Darrow Nurseries,
Watsonville.
Fee: $74
Saturday, January 24 from 10 am to 3 pm (bring a bag lunch).
