Plantastic Monday: Black Belt Plants

Meet some plants at the Wellesley College Botanic Gardens that are very good at self-defense! Figure out why a plant needs to defend itself, and discover all the pointy, nasty, sneaky ways that plants use to get the better of animals.


Plantastic Days are a free monthly drop-in program for families to discover through art, culture and science just how fantastic plants can be. Hand-on activities, crafts and scavenger hunts will engage toddlers through grandparents. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
