SUMMARY:Spooky Plants: The Garden that Bites Back
DESCRIPTION:As we ramp up for the spooky season of Halloween\, join the Manager of Adult Programming and Events for a walk focused on the most sinister plants in the Arboretum’s collections. Armed with spiky thorns\, sticky latex\, and chemical warfare\, these sinister species defend themselves from hungry herbivores—and sometimes from humans who wander too close. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: This program involves walking over pavement\, crushed stone\, and mulch paths\, including one short but steep hill. \n\n\n\nAudience: This program is geared towards adults. \n\n\n\nInclement weather policy: Participants will be notified via email at least 24 hours in advance if a program needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather\, and will be notified by phone if a program must be cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice. Click here to view our full inclement weather policy. If you have questions about the status of a program\, please email publicprograms@arnarb.harvard.edu or call the Visitor Center desk between 10:00am and 4:00pm at (617) 384-5209.
