Blow Your Mind BotanyThe Amazing Life of Plants 4/14/23

Are you just going to lay there and vegetate?!” Instead of insulting, consider this a highly rewarding compliment. For hundreds of millions of years, plants have been evolving on Earth. We’ve been here for 200,000 tops! Yet we still ignore them, devalue them, disregard them. And worst of all, decimate them wherever they “get in the way.” Retired Sierra College botanist, Joe Mederios will review how humans are 100% dependent on plants. Comparing our five senses to their twenty, he will also share recent research demonstrating sophisticated plant communications (within their own and between other species) and how they mutualistically partner with all other living groups to literally direct ecological stability within all sunlight-driven ecosystems.
