SUMMARY:Botany Spotlight: Amazing Plant Adaptations to Terrestrial Enviro
 nments
DESCRIPTION:Plants thrive in an extraordinary diversity of habitats\\, fr
 om hot\\, dry deserts to humid tropical rain forests to cold arctic tundr
 a to expansive grasslands. But unlike most animals (including humans)\\, 
 plants are constrained to live in a fixed location. They can’t move to 
 find the water\\, sunlight and nutrients they need to survive\\, and they
  can&#8217\\;t migrate to avoid changing or harsh environmental condition
 s.  The varied ways plants have evolved and adapted to overcome these ch
 allenges are truly amazing.  Join Alec Motten\\, professor emeritus\\, D
 uke University Department of Biology\\, for a lively exploration of how p
 lants respond to and shape their environment. You’ll start with an in-d
 epth overview in the classroom before venturing out into the Gardens to s
 ee exciting examples from the plant collection. Pair this class with a to
 ur of the Duke Research Greenhouse’s teaching collection on Saturday\\,
  November 21 (register separately).\\nFee: $28\\, 20% discount for Duke G
 ardens members with discount code.\\nParking: Parking fees apply.\\nLocat
 ion: Pelham-Cullen Classroom inside the Barnes Welcome Center.\\nAccessib
 ility: This is a small group program that takes place partially seated in
 doors and partially outdoors\\, traveling on a combination of paved and u
 npaved paths with some uneven surfaces and moderate inclines. The indoor
